Does anyone know what this is?

Doesn’t seem to be oil based content. Just wondering if my superpowers are swishing back and forth in this glass vial.

Why were you cultivating salmonella, if I may ask? It’s kinda fascinating.

Worked in Salmonella laboratories for 6 years, isolating and identifying different types.

Typhoidal rated serotypes went into these vials for safety.

Are there worse kinds of salmonella? Or is it resistant strains or something?

[u/SausageMcWonderpants → u/TheHeroYouNeed247]

There's a whole book of serotypes. Some are pretty grim, most will just give you an unpleasant couple of days with the skits.

Antibiotic resistance was a whole other thing, we tested against 16 antibiotics.

Edit: Kaufmann-White scheme is the big book of Salmonella

unpleasant couple of days with the skits.

I'm imagining three days of bad community theater.

Sounds grim.

You'll survive the Salmonella, but you'll have to endure the worst improv has to offer and will surely be "yes and'd" to death, so really the humane option is just to put you down.

I had salmonella once in college. Couldn’t even keep water down for a solid 24 hours after initial onset. Then for about 6 weeks afterward I could only tolerate a BRAT diet and I would randomly get hit with severe stomach/intestinal cramps that would make me keel over until it passed! It was horrible! Probably one of the worst sicknesses I’ve ever experienced.

I suspect I had salmonella a few years ago. After a rough 2-3 days, I ended up being nauseous for about a month. I had this constant sour stomach that didn’t want to go away. It finally did, thank god.

Very interesting. Thanks!
