@beverleyturner @toryboypierce Maybe he should have used the technical term “heat cytotoxity” which will “cause cell death (ie, necrosis) and break down the integrity of cell membranes”. Cells overheating within major organs and bursting open. Sounds a bit like “boiling” to me. https://t.co/izvwMStHzN
