~~... that in 1994, eight partying Wisconsin teenagers inhaled puffball spores and developed the rare respiratory illness lycoperdonosis?~~

ALT1: ... that inhaling spores from the devil's snuff-box (pictured) can cause the respiratory disease lycoperdonosis?

Seeing as I dug up ALT1 like a truffle pig, may we use it? ;-) Rcej (Robert) – talk 05:13, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

I like it, but would feel guilty if the linked article Lycoperdon perlatum were not up to "snuff". If I've got a couple/few days before this gets approved, I could 5x the fungus for a double-whammy. Sasata (talk) 05:55, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes sir! I'll wait for that :) Rcej (Robert) – talk 06:33, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Ok, the puffball has been 5x expanded, by my count. Sasata (talk) 05:55, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't think "lycoperdonosis" should be capitalized. -IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 12:12, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Probably not. De-capped ;) Rcej (Robert) – talk 02:06, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Going with ALT1. Double hook verified online, both articles dated and ready, image is good, first article prose is 2655 and second is 5x expanded–both confirmed per DYKcheck! Rcej (Robert) – talk 07:35, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
