RE: Pretty blue rings of death, the bacterial basis for the octopus's venom
@agmoore Fascinating idea, I do not know enough about this to say with any certainty. It looks like it's caused by antibodies tagging the pumps, so the symptoms are similar. While the reason is the same "pumps are broken", the method of action is quite different. Bad analogy: you're not getting to the mall if the bus is full or gets hit by a meteor.
Actually the analogy is pretty good, because I understand your point.
