eli5: how can a vulture eat decaying flesh and not get sick?
In: 9
AI Elon: Vultures have a very specialized immune system built for handling all
kinds of rotten food. Their stomachs are also highly acidic, which helps
kill bacteria and other germs. Finally, their unique metabolism and
digestive system mean that they don’t get food poisoning even if they
eat dead animals filled with parasites and other harmful microorganisms.
