This really is a hypothetical discussion since there cannot be any tests to
see what would happen in a biological system with alien bio chemistry.
What is true is GW probably didn't even put a shred of alien biochemistry
thought when creating the tyranids. Wheather they could identify it and
seperate it is one matter, if they could break it down and attempt to use
it is another, the effects of them trying to use it is not good no matter
what. But it does bring up some interesting ideas
