Then she convinced phage scientists around the country to hunt and peck through molecular haystacks of sewage, bogs, ponds, the bilge of boats and other prime breeding grounds for bacteria and their viral opponents.

Think the problem with many nowadays is the keep themselves and surroundings too sterile, kids don’t go out and play in the dirt, ponds, etc., but stay inside play8ng video games and when they do go out sanitize themselves when they are done, so their immune systems aren’t built up over time.

I grew up in the dirt, mud, rivers, woods around Maryland, got mud, river water in my hair, mouth, literally everywhere. I rarely get sick and when I do it goes away quickly, cuts and such have never had them get infected and heal quickly, imo it’s because I grew up exposed to all kinds of bacteria, germs, etc. To each their own I suppose though.

lmao we ate dirt as kids, what does this taste like........................ We never were inside, never did the anti bacterial scrub of everything. I, also, hardly ever get a cold or sick.
