H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

I think this is implied, but for those that don't know, cellular resparation is also an oxidation reaction meaning we are slowly burning every time we breathe.

Fun fact: nearly 85% of weight loss happens through respiration. We use up a little of our carbon-based body with every breath we take.
