Absolutely, this looks like the first case report of its kind so we can't draw any conclusions, but hopefully this incident draws a lot of news coverage so that the global medical community is on high alert for this disturbing possibility.

Interesting paragraph which describes how observations could determine the origins of our universe:

> So far, the calculations have concerned the spatial patterns that could arise from cosmic inflation. Alternative theories of the birth of the universe would be expected to have different higher-point signatures. In the last five years, there’s been a renewed interest in bounce cosmology, which recasts the Big Bang as a Big Bounce from a previous era. The new symmetry-based approach might be useful for distinguishing between the higher-point correlations of a universe that inflated and one that bounced. “The mechanism would be different; the symmetries are different,” Pimentel said. “They would have a different menu of cosmological correlations.”

This is huge, even though it is a mouse study space we should really be examining glyphosate more carefully given how prevalent it is in our food.
