What happens when a cockroach walks into a thermobaric blast? Science has some surprising answers.
🧪 DNA After the Boom:
- Cockroaches are survivors, but extreme heat can char their bodies.
- Yet fragments of mitochondrial DNA can remain—even in ash.
🐜 Forensic Twist:
- Investigators can extract genetic material from bug remains.
- This helps trace pre-blast activity, like infestation or movement patterns.
💣 Why It Matters:
- Cockroach DNA can place a location in time, revealing if pests were present before or after detonation.
When even bugs leave evidence, nothing stays hidden. 🕵️🔥
