  • There may be some better potential hook, but first... what source provides the "connection between" in ALT0? EEng 16:42, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
None. It's implicit because Ostreopsis is involved in both. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:13, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
Hmmm... OK, give me a day or two on this. I think we need to work The Seaweed of Death into it somehow. If I forget ping me again. EEng 17:37, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
Actually, it's not a seaweed, but one of the Zoantharia. I know that there have been amateur aquarium keepers who became sick from it after placing the animal into saltwater fish tanks, and I could probably track down a source if that would be helpful. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:33, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
When I said that, I was thinking of Palythoa. Ostreopsis is closer to seaweed, but it's a single cell microorganism. --Tryptofish (talk) 19:37, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
Here are some sources for that: [1], [2], [3], [4]. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:21, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
  • I have to admit I'm stymied here. I want to say something like
Beachgoers became ill in Italy because of something in the seaweed of death
but I can't wrap my head around the osteoporosis and the cryptozoology and the organelles and so on. What links the two events, really? Template:U, can you fashion something? EEng 03:04, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
