I don't really know much more than this. It's been a while since I heard about this, so I chatted w/ Claude to see if I wasn't misremembering, and Claude said I was not. It linked to a few articles and papers on the topic, which support what I said. Here's one on tooth abscesses from the mayo clinic, another on undiagnosed fevers occasionally being due to dental infections, and one on oral biofilms which can cause chronic infection. I don't know how helpful this is to you, as it doesn't seem obviously related to your inflammation, but it's all I've got atm.
If you do read up on the history of homology, I'd be grateful if you'd tell me whether it helps. I'm curious if my advice was actually a good idea, or if it just sounds good.

No, but I did use Gemini 3 for writing some humorous lyrics for my in-group, and it did a decent job at it.
