“98% of your spit is water. You have iron in your blood. Your cells are made of a nuclei that has some DNS and RNA. Th RNA copies the DNA and makes a cell. Viruses are not made of DNA. It is made of RNA. Your blood has DNA. The word DNA means deoxyribo nucleic acid. Then end”
I really know a lot about it and I felt like I had never done one [a zine] before I just wanted to do it. I just got interested because one time I went to this museum in Canada and they wanted to take a spit test from you and they found your DNA and I was inspired by that.
