[–] M95D 1y ago ↗ A completely "mirrored" organism is not that dangerous.- It would still have antigenic properties, just not the ones we are familiar with.- It can't eat any ordinary food. Common proteins and sugars won't fit it's enzymes. It also means it can't attack our tissues.- It's "mirrored" toxins won't have any effect on us. (But compounds that are normally benign could become toxic if "mirrored".)
