That’s a dream come true. 🌟

fascinating case report from Rahel Zewde of auto-brewery syndrome. "Antimicrobial resistance is an important part of the syndrome, because frequent antibiotic use disrupts their gut" Her gut was producing alcohol, but doctors didn’t believe her | CNN 👏👏 cnn.com/2024/06/03/health/au…
