bugs use a copper blood in their circulatory system and we are iron blood. Too much copper interferes with zinc adsorption and thus negatively affects the immune system. Thanks for all the great data.

Thanks so much! What I see is that the copper-containing proteins called hemocyanins occur in the blood of larger crustaceans and of gastropod and cephalopod mollusks, but not insects in general. Can you provide a souce? For sure too much copper interferes with zinc! Otherwise, GREAT work!

Merci!
