2 Things I'd like the community to help me with.

1. As I don't have either SOTA 2063 or Man/Machine (and until they start printing them again, it doesn't seem likely :P) I was wondering if someone could give me an update of the Immunization genetic enhancement. If I'm reading the Shadowtech version right, does full spectrum immunization make you immune to any listed versions of poisons (cyanide, nacroject, etc?)? Would a character with full spectrum immunization be generally unaffected by doses of neurostun? What type of consequences would this have to 'good' chemical compounds such as various biotech patches or stuff they use during surgery?

2. I've been knocking around this idea for a chemical concoction and would appreciate community feedback.

After watching a hell of alot of CSI on tv, I notice that blood is frequently used to get DNA fingerprinting to catch the baddy. I'm thinking of adding a chemical to my gameworld that you could dose yourself with before a run, and if you get shot up and leave blood behind, the chemical would react with the standing blood and break it down in a way that would prevent DNA 'fingerprints'.

I'm operating on the premise that the chemical when introduced to a runner's system, wouldn't have any effect as long as the blood kept in motion. I don't have a medical background, so I'd appreciate any corrections, but its my thinking that blood in your body is always in motion. Only pools and stops moving when you croak, or it exits your body. So the chemical would remain inert in the body, only coming into effect when you get hit and leave blood splatters behind.

I was also thinking that this wouldn't be a chemical that would be good to have constantly running in your system. You're meant to dose it before that big corp-Lab run where you don't want to leave any evidence linking you behind. It would last in your system 48 hours or so before becoming ineffective. I'm also thinking you shouldn't dose yourself with it more than once every 2 or 3 weeks. I was looking at the side effects of oxygenated flurocarbons in Shadowtech, and kinda liked the idea of there being problems if you didn't let the previous dose fully breakdown.

As mentioned, any comments (constructive I hope, hehe) would be appreciated.
