And then there are the harms caused when #humans introduce #NonnativePlants & animals or #chemicals such as #herbicides & #fungicides to fragile #ecosystems.

If you're a #doctor or in a related #health or #healthcare profession, consider following the group @medmastodon for news, etc.
The group could use more followers to become more effective. And use #MedMastodon in posts too for wider reach in that area. Also #IDmastodon for infectious #diseases.
