Apparently, according to Brazilian scientists:

Still no cure for... wait, we did it? Sweet. High fives all around if it works.

That's all well and good, until they tear down the rainforest where the tick lives.

Someone get this some smurfing funding ASAP!!!

.... oh wait, that's the problem. Big medicine wants to treat, not cure, because it's so much more profitable.

Damn you!

I didn't even know ticks could salivate.

interesting how he had to say "outside of brazil", but I shouldn't be surprise, we are just a bunch of savages anyway.

Just to put things in perspective for the non-scientists, specifically the non-molecular biologists around here. I've been hearing of miracle cures for cancer and AIDS since I began undergrad back in 1999. In fact, when I started at my company the HR lady doing the orientation bullshit- selling the company to us- was blubbering about how in two years we're expected to develop the first HIV vaccine. I couldn't help but to raise my hand and inform her that she was more than likely grossly ill informed.

So what you're saying is that a tick spit enema WON'T cure my colon cancer? :moon:

DAMN IT!! :explode:
