I appreciate this cliffhanger ending. I hope the little leeches are okay. They are sluglike and Shai Halud-like.

They do have a Shai Halud quality, they can heal, they can hurt, they control the desert?!

Wonder if they are a keystone species.

The rabbit hole has been found

I am looking forward to pt 2! I am curious why you say lower ferritin is linked to a longer life? I have had chronically low ferritin and am trying to raise it. in general curious about your thoughts on iron if you feel like sharing in the future :)

I got thoughts on ferritin from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UwRxv5g83c&t=403s and from Nutrition Detective’s livestreams which are also on YouTube.
