A practitioner took a scab from someone with a mild case, made an incision in the skin of a healthy person, and infected that person with the scab. Sheep-scab is a loathsome skin disease due to an acarian parasite.
BOSTON -- Call it cryonics for crustaceans. A Connecticut company says its frozen lobsters sometimes come back to life when thawed. Trufresh began freezing lobsters with a technique it used for years on salmon after an offhand suggestion by some workers. It found that some lobsters revived after their subzero sojourns.
The ability to absorb previously unavailable nutrition will allow humans to age similar to the lobster. Lobsters do not die of the debility of old age. They are killed, and they die of infection just as humans do. Lobsters continue to absorb nutrition throughout life, while humans gradually lose the ability to absorb specific nutrition.
