You can catch more than a STD from a Mudshark especially if they have a child. FYI: Fetal microchimerism is a real scientific phenomenon in which cells from a fetus can cross into the mother during pregnancy and remain in her body for years or even decades. Because those fetal cells contain DNA inherited from both the mother and the father with big lips, some cells remaining from a previous pregnancy can therefore contain DNA originating from the previous nig-nogging father who is either in jail or has gone to the store and has yet to return. Its possible for cells from a previous pregnancy carrying an Australopithecus to pass into a subsequent child - YOURS....and you might also have AIDS. This is still being studies, but here are a couple of studies for refence that I got AI to list (there are a lot more): Bianchi et al. (1996) — “Male fetal progenitor cells persist in maternal blood for as long as 27 years postpartum.” Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), 93(2), 705–708. This is one of the foundational studies. Researchers detected male fetal cells in women up to 27 years after they had given birth to a son, demonstrating long-term persistence of fetal cells in the mother. Bianchi (2000) — “Fetal cells in the mother: from genetic diagnosis to diseases associated with fetal cell microchimerism.” This review discusses the discovery that fetal cells can remain in maternal circulation for decades, distinguishing persistent fetal cells from cell-free fetal DNA, which is cleared relatively quickly after pregnancy.
