It will be available as an NFT through an app that I started developing with a friendly guy who asked me if I wanted to develop an app with him.

Let's open a company and call it "organic epi", it still comes from organs but that's why we can call it "organic" right? 😂

It's just amazing to see these numbers, I was a bit curious about the breeding process and was hoping it wouldn't turn out to be a limiting factor.

I just want to emphasise one point you made: usually there is no bacterial superinfection, the symptoms are, as you rightly pointed out, due to the damaged/irritated lining of the upper respiratory tract. Sadly that takes some time to heal.

I did a quick search and found one study which tried to estimate the rate of superinfection by evaluating CRP levels on first presentation compared to subsequent visits. This approach has its obvious limitations, but if we are conservative in our estimate by doubling the reported likelihood of 8,1%, it still shows how rare bacterial superinfections in URTI are.

Also the majority of WBC kind of "roll" along the blood vessel walls, which is a process corticosteroid therapy can disrupt. This will manifest as initial pseudo leukocytosis as it frees leukocytes from the blood vessel walls and therefore increase blood concentration for leukocytes.
