Talk:Prehistoric Plant Pollen/@comment-4273152-20151028190652/@comment-24588058-20151029010345

Hey, I just made it from the main gallery of artifacts mentioned in the show. As for a specific backstory and expansion of effects, I'm not sure. But what I would guess is that it is an artifact of some kind, and there isn't anything to rule out that Eureka could be involved. I mean, we know they have used artifacts, once knowingly and probably plenty accidentally.

What if they thought this type of pollen causes the effect in women, and they tried to study and replicate it not realizing the effect was caused as a result of it being an artifact? Someone discovered it somewhere in Africa (I don't know where specifically, but perhaps an old cave?), and when rumors of the pollen started to spread it Eureka decided to get ahold of it (before Warehouse 13 agents got there, or perhaps they were dealing with a bigger issue and it slipped by unnoticed).

Realizing it turned women on, they decided to experiment with it in order to create a medicine or something of the like to increase women's sex drives. However, because the pollen was an artifact, they had no idea that the effects would behave the way they did. When Warehouse 13 realized what happened, Mrs. Fredric removed the pollen and brought it to Artie - let's say he was out of town at that time - who accidentally released a few spores bagging it which led to a strange night.

As to where the pollen came from specifically, I'm willing to be it came from somewhere in Africa because that is where humans came from. The pollen comes in the form of a plant and spreads when the plant releases it's own pollen.
