How to Avoid Being Attacked By A Mushroom

Eat your 3 meals a day! That would be breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Or breakfast, dinner, and supper if you grew up with me in Maine.

It seems New York City's Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University is reporting that by listening to what your Mom said, you can avoid mushroom attacks... okay, actually not really mushrooms, but the smaller, less-understood, somewhat-less-exciting-for-a-blog-post, fungi.

By keeping our normal 98.6º internal temperature, we can fight off any fungal nasties that are looking to take up residence in our bodies. That high of a temperature keeps the majority of fungi attackers at bay. By keeping our food intake up, we are replenishing ourselves with the proper energy to prevent these invasions. The study also suggests that this could be a factor in why mammals rose to dominance after the dinosaur extinction. (Which of course is just a prelude to the day when fungi rise to dominance and throttle us out in the woods - that picture to the left is quite accurate.)

Editors note - That last sentence is not actually part of any study conducted by the good folks at the Albert Einstein College, just a prediction made by most scholars bloggers in the know.
