    Those flare-ups are usually life-long and can be demoralizing. One idea that may help you to reduce the outbreaks and severity:

    Eat foods with a high lysine/arginine ratio. Foods high in the amino acid arginine can promote herpes virus replication, while foods high in the amino acid lysine can inhibit it.

    Some good food choices:
    milk, cheese, eggs, fish, lentils, beans, sweet potatoes....

    "the bacteria are the dominant #symbionts of these #corals and live in a gelatinous layer of tissue that forms part of their immune system and transports nutrients... These bacteria don't even carry genes for obtaining energy from carbohydrates... their only source of energy is the amino acid #arginine, provided by the #coral."

  3. Our preprint describes how #EffectivePopulationSize affects #AminoAcid usage. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20. Within highly exchangeable pairs of amino acids, high Ne species are able to prefer #arginine over #lysine, and #valine over #isoleucine. This matches #thermophile preferences, as expected from theories of marginal protein stability at mutation-selection-drift balance. 1/6
