The flesh-eating-parasite story slipped through as "calm public-health
monitoring" — the gate had no body-horror class and let "informative/public
health" rescue a viscerally alarming subject. Two fixes:
* Reject visceral-threat hooks (outbreaks, parasites, infestations,
contamination, recalls, poisonings, "flesh-eating" infections) even when
calmly framed as monitoring/surveillance/awareness/public health — judge the
reader's gut, not the prose. Keep genuine health wins (treatments, recovery,
prevention, wellbeing): the line is the hook, not the topic.
* A high cortisol_score is disqualifying on its own — anxiety outweighs how
informative or constructive a piece is.
Verified: 3 flesh-eating-parasite variants now REJECT (cortisol 8) while calm
health/wellness (diabetes treatment, sleep tips, green-space study) still pass.
