I'd just drink some Limu. Some dude told me that it cures everything. Surely it would frick up some alien viruses.

Unless the planet they come from magically has the same exact bacterias and viruses, then our immune systems will likely encounter germs that these aliens bring with them that we have never encountered before.

If germs from one continent can wipe out an entire other continent's population, then I shudder to think what germs from another planet could do.



Infectious bacteria and viruses are absurdly highly tailored to their hosts.

Unless we are the product of an alien seeding program it won't affect us.

And vica versa

I imagine such an unlikely scenario would not easily result in a disease that actually impacted humans.

My slightly less tin foil hat concern is this: I wonder how likely it is that stored or mutated viruses could be accidentally unleashed by terrorist organizations and end up killing much of the world's livestock....causing millions to starve to death. I imagine water and food supplies could be serious targets in the future.

I'm just looking forward to the day when they pick me up for the experiments.
