they finally confirmed to me directly that it’s this and say i might need more oral antibiotics or injection/IV, but it depends on what the microbiologist says
i hope to god it’s oral only or at least something i can do from home 💀
i also want to ask them how it might have happened too

Actinomycosis
Actinomyces is usually a harmless bacteria in your body. But when it gets in the wrong place, it can cause a serious infection.

I worked 3 years as a food safety microbiologist recently and currently speaking, the food supply is still as safe as it ever has been. This is especially the case for cooked foods.
The exception at this point would be if there were an outbreak in things like lunch meat, ice cream, cut fresh fruit

Is anyone maintaining an updated list of what foods are not safe to eat? I can’t keep up with it and I’m basically afraid to eat anything healthy at this point

I am not a microbiologist, but I am puzzled how this is becoming normalised enough to pass peer review. There is a difference between using data from a paper or database that *may* contain some errors and relying on a model that is *known* to make errors and invent stuff rather than admit ignorance.

Dunno if it’s what you’re looking for, but I follow Roanoke Tales on YT but I believe he has a podcast too. He also has a side channel for movies and video games. He’s a microbiologist who analyzes horror.

Today is Sep 28. On this date in 1895 microbiologist Louis Pasteur passed away. Renowned for his discoveries of the principles of vaccination, microbial fermentation, and pasteurization. His research led to remarkable breakthroughs in understanding the causes and prevention of diseases.

but then i get a call from the hospital like, the results of the tests we ran on the bacteria culture when you were admitted to get the thing drained were “not satisfactory” so you need to come see a microbiologist and check if you need to take more antibiotics
