It’s good for what ails you.
Llama antibodies are extremely small. So tiny that they are able to penetrate all external defenses of the influenza virus and destroy the infectious agent at its core. Intrigued by the possibilities, scientist speculate that a nasal spray of these flu fighters could offer a universal vaccine. More
It really whips the Llama’s ass
I’ll take my chances with the flu.

I’m more than a little leery of this because camels are close cousins to camels and camels are on my short list of The World’s Most Ugly and Nasty Beasts.

I can see it now. Inspired by minute llama anti-bodies, scientist design their own synthetic version meant ward off the common cold. It mutates and kills us all in a generation in some kind of grotesque manner.

Now they want to colonize my nose and nasal passages with llama parts?
Pass, thanx.
“…the serum would differ from a vaccine in that the antibodies would directly enter humans’ nasal mucus membranes, “so that [the flu virus] never gets a foothold and therefore gives more protection.”
Do they still teach the ‘chain of infection’ in med schools? This would not do anything for an oral route. Wash your hands, folks! This could lead to a false sense of security, if one were to decline a flu vaccination, believing this nasal implantation would suffice. That could get you to a pandemic quickly. “No thanks, I snorted llama dander- I’m good to go”
I hear a lot of muslims drink camel piss, that’ll be the next one.
Wash your hands! With soap and water!
I had a llama spit on me once does that mean I’m immune to the flu?
Oops. Llamas are close cousins to camels. Duh.
I’d rather this team come up with a universal influenza antiviral:

Now, that’s nothin’ to sneeze about!
Where’s Viet Vet? I’m sure there is a pun in this story.
The Generic only has one L…
A 1 L Lama is a holy man.
A 2 L Llama is an animal.
A 3. L-lama is a fire in New York.
Do the llamas involved have to be guys, or would it work with dolly llamas?
OT
Fox lineup tonight should be a classic

OK, so the llama may be the key to a universal antidote that can cure everything. But does he have to look so damn smug?
I hear there’s a new confection being sold in Mumbai:
the Rama Llama Ding-Dong
— Uncle Al
heh! Viet Vet
Remember that great Japanese-Peruvian-American figure skater?
Kristi Llama Guchi?
choose wisely

Dr. Tar-
Could you imagine? A llama antibodies version of Resident Evil. LOL!
Everyone, avoid Llama City!
@Viet Vet! You never fail to amuse!
Vietvet — You’re so quick! I bet there’s a lot of groaning heard at your house!! Tell the truuuthhhh. LOL
I have a pet llama
Her name is Enza
She sneezes tiny antibodies
When I made a deep inhale
In flew Enza’s
Antibodies
The question that needs asked & answered. Do people in the Andes or people who keep llamas get the flu?
Just goes to illustrate everything in the world is like a net made with many sizes of mesh.
Great. Now I get to sit on the train surrounded by snowflakes and their “influenza support llamas”.
If I had a Llama as a pet, I’d call him Lluywellyn or Lloyd. Nothing else fits.
