pathogens

All milk sold (legally) in the US is processed, because it must undergo pasteurization, a heating process that kills pathogens.

For example, you could make autonomous robot weapons, or extremely virulent pathogens with a long incubation period.

There also seems to be studies that link them with pathogens and bacteria, wikipedia links to some[0].

Novel pathogens are going to be a lot easier to design than treatments and preventative measures to protect against them.

Food should be prepared in such a way that all parasites and pathogens are killed.

Even when dealing with infectious diseases, many deaths are caused not by pathogens but rather by the immune responses to them.

Self organization, when mirroring a biological system (such as our immune system) can be co-opted by cancers and auto-immune causing pathogens.

They also prime our immune system so that we are better prepared to combat invasion of potential pathogens.

Agriculture started relying on easily available pesticides instead of developing resistant strains or practices that prevent the evolution and spread of pathogens.

Human pathogens almost always show strong population structure that corealtes with human migration.

With what we know now about beneficial bacteria, I wonder if, in addition to the pathogens, we're killing probiotics?

Of course getting rid of the pathogens is a great thing, but perhaps chlorination plays a role in causing some modern problems that are related to the immune system and the gut biome?

Replace "nanotech" with "pathogens", take a look at the state of bio industry in the last 50 years, and tell me again if this is surreal or not dangerous.

"If it's pointless to cook food, we would just eat food raw." There could be other reasons beside nutrition to cook food: more palatable, kills pathogens, etc.

Pathogens are not fought by attacking their DNA.
