Abstract
In a recent Letter, Bhoonah et al. [1] attempted to derive limits on dark matter interactions with ordinary matter by demanding that dark matter (DM) heating of gas clouds not exceed the known astrophysical cooling rate based on the temperature, density, and metallicity of the observed clouds.
