Yeah, exactly, yeah. And then, you know, you can use antihistamines. And the other thing, we had another podcast earlier on migraines. And this is, I found this also very interesting, is one of the things that is a histamine blocker is butterbur. And Butterbur is used in migraines. And the reason why Butterbur works in migraines is it actually is working on an antihistamine level.

Because you can get an allergic brain, if you will. We know about that where you get fuzzy in the head and you can get headaches and things like that. So excess amounts of histamine has an impact on the brain. Yeah.

Yeah, so basically the way to think about it is bacteria produce histamine. So if you have food that's old, if you have food that's sitting in the refrigerator for a couple of days, guess what happens? The bacteria actually break down histidine, the amino acid, into histamines.
