Is there any scientific estimation of the chances of dying of alien diseases on an exoplanet where multicellular organisms thrive?

A few years back Russian scientists drilled into a lake trapped by pressure beneath the ice of Antarctica. It's a really cool phenomenon where liquid water becomes unable to freeze because of the pressure. What they found was life which had the same DNA markers of all life on Earth. Similarly life was found deep underground engaged in chemosynthesis with the rock surrounding it. It also had the same DNA markers shared by all life on Earth. It seems that all life on Earth, everywhere, evolved once and never again. That all life came from a single proto ancestor. Otherwise we would find life somewhere that had different DNA markers than what's universally shared.

Therefore, your question is unanswerable. Never before has any life anywhere that we know of have ever encountered been alien. So what it might do to our bodies is pure science fiction. Sorry for the bad news.

bout 3.50% chance of 50/50 dying in two weeks, you either do or you don't

Probably somewhere around jack and shit. The odds any alien disease is adapted to get past our immune system is low and keeping shit out is the default. What with all our skin and shit.

I mean hell, with all the bajillions of kinds of single-celled life on earth, think about how few actually cause disease in humans. FFS there's only a little over 200 viruses known to infect humans.

No, we're a sample size of one. As this Anon has said: >>16700290 everything on this planet is related to each other.
My personal opinion, based on pure speculation, is we should probably assume alien germs, within our own solar system (so Venus, Mars, Europa), could infect us and make us sick. I say this in the capacity that there is a "not zero percent chance" that life in our system shares a common ancestor due to panspermia. I wouldn't extend this disclaimer to other systems, that's just an impossible amount of space to traverse for microbes.

If an alien seeded our planet with life then this means life is a work of art.

Yeah but then Christcucks hijack it and say “yes, yes… God did this…”.

I guess alien bacteria might infect you and you'd have a tough time dealing with them.
But I don't think alien viruses would be a danger at all.

Viruses yes, but what about bacteria? Tuberculosis, syphilis etc. They don't need to be genetically compatible. They just situate themselves in the body and consume you for nutrients. The immune system is the one on the back foot there.
Of even fungus. Fungal infections are rare but very difficult to deal with.

It's all speculation and very little science

And not a moment later Tony Fauci was thawing out the pieces of ice which contained viruses

For you? Zero, because you're never going to space.

I think that ironically, the more "foreign" the bacteria is compared to our own, the lesser the risk they have to infect you in any risky way

Basic organic chemistry isn't science fiction; any truly alien life could use a numberless amount of possible different organic molecules for its biological processes, and your body can only deal with and break down the ones it encounters here, that are used by earth life. You wouldn't die of a disease from an alien virus, it's extremely unlikely any alien microorganism would have any ability to interact with your cells at all, but you would almost certainly be poisoned by the weird alien proteins and sugars which it's made of, that aren't found in terrestrial life. Any alien equivalent to pollen getting in your lungs could make you sick, alien microbes in the air and water, eating an alien would definitely make you sick and be almost entirely indigestible and very possibly lethally poisonous, etc etc.

You can nut in an alien girl but it might make her sick. Do NOT let her breastfeed you.
