I’d suggest tracing a line through the points of published research on autism, hyperthermia and its effects on autism spectrum related behaviors, the effect of Interleukin-17 thereon, the relationship from between IL-17 and Th17 helper cells, and the 5-HT2A receptor’s effects on Th17 cell regulation. And other stuff. Like thermoregulation. There’s more interesting stuff on the way and at every point.

To manage expectations: It’s… an imaginary line?

does hyperthermia affect fungal infections? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7572136/
or vice versa, I have no idea!

I do recall reading that certain autoimmune disorders like psoriasis which are therapeutically impacted by serotonin receptors’ effects on the immune system do happen to increase susceptibility to fungal infection

iirc/afaik

before readings: that paper is wild

(I’ll approach it with a grain of salt while also not immediately discounting it)

I want to note that I am NOT making a connection to vaccines, nor do I see one. (Quite the opposite actually!)
