I’m at the American Society for Microbiology Annual Meeting, swimming in a lot of excellent new research. I also just learned about a disease I never heard of before, with a truly awesome name: Burning Mouth Syndrome.
When I posted this on Twitter, the writerMichael Paul Mason immediately responded with his own favorite: Smoking Stool Syndrome.
So what’s your favorite?
