What's the difference between your kitchen and your living room and outside your house?

And same thing, how does that relate to some of the levels of key markers, your metabolites, your inflammatory markers?

So we want to correlate that.

We know studies from others have shown, right, pesticides correlate with Parkinson's and things like this.

So we want to...

See what's going on there.

I can tell you some fun stuff that we just made.

Again, these are all correlations.

Now we do something called mediation analysis.

It can let you get a little better about causality, not proof in many cases, but a better idea.

Anyway, here's a fun thing we discovered.

We found a correlation between...

Something called pyridine, which used to be common in paints and in other places too.

They recently don't put it in paints.

But pyridine exposures are associated with lack of fungi, meaning I'll have more bacterial plant or other exposure.

So my house was painted by a green guy, no pyridine in the paints there.

So I get a fungal exposure when I'm at home.

And so is that good or bad?

I don't know.

But imagine I was very allergic to black molds.
