And this is why you should never actually eat your hat!

kidding around of course. I truly appreciate the effort you put into researching topics relevant to this investment. if I had to guess, I'd say you have a background in the physical sciences.

Hi Truth,

Thanks for posting this. But, this has nothing to do with genetic modifications made with piggybac or ZFNs. Only in processes that use bacteria as an engineering tool, or where bacteria is present during the production of the protein. I don't even think it would effect organism modified with CRISPRs considering that technique only uses a portion of the bacterias DNA.

Endotoxins are created within the bacteria as a defense mechanism among other functions. They can't be created or spread without live bacteria to produce them.

I have been looking in source materials and do not see any references to endotoxins being in silkworm silk. Dragon Silk has been said to of been bio-compatible. There would be no talk of medical usage if there was an expectation that DS contained endotoxins. I have no idea why silkworms were included. They certainly did not source the subnotes well enough to include them in the list.
