Snake's head found in a can of beans

A lady from Farmington, Utah, identified as Troy Walker was making dinner with church members when she discovered a very unsavoury addition to the meal, a severed snake's head. The beans came from a can of Western Family Fancy Green Beans. Initially, she thought the beans was burnt as she scooped it out of a cooker, a closer inspection revealed the gross find.

She returned to the store where she bought the beans and received a full refund on all the 30 cans she bought previously.‎

‎

But Walker said it wasn't about the money. "My biggest concern was that someone else would get the body," she said.

She then sent a photograph of the serpent's decapitated head to Western Family.

The Oregon-based company said it was investigating the bizarre discovery and as a precautionary measure, it has suspended shipments of beans from the same batch.

"Foreign matter is not something we take lightly," Western Family's chief financial officer Peter Craven said.

He refused to confirm whether it was a snake's head, but said that the product was "on hold" at the wholesale level.

Walker meanwhile couldn't stomach the beans in which she found the snake's head, she she chucked it all in the bin. . "It was just terrible," she said.

Cell-Associated HIV Transmission Contributes To HIV Epidemic

Dr. Deborah Anderson from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and her colleagues are challenging dogma about the transmission of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). Most research has focused on infection by free viral particles, while this group proposes that HIV is also transmitted by infected cells. While inside cells, HIV is protected from antibodies and other antiviral factors, and cell-to-cell virus transmission occurs very efficiently through intercellular synapses. The Journal of Infectious Diseases (JID) has devoted their December supplement to this important and understudied topic. The 10 articles, four from researchers at BUSM, present the case for cell-associated HIV transmission as an important element contributing to the HIV epidemic. Anderson chides fellow researchers for not using cell-associated HIV in their transmission models: "The failure of several recent vaccine and microbicide clinical trials to prevent HIV transmission may be due in p...
