what's this story about? |
it's about the mutant strain of Candida albicans; normally they are non-fermenting yeast living naturally in the human gut. but, the atomic bomb in nagasaki or hiroshima mutated these yeast and allowed them to ferment carbohydrates thereby producing the "drunkiness" effect experienced by Charles Swaart
