#AntibioticResistance among #germs swells during #droughts, study suggests
Experiments at Caltech found that dry soil—drought conditions—consistently select for and enrich antibiotic resistance in soil bacterial communities. More concerningly, researchers found that pro-resistance conditions in soil link to higher frequencies of #antibioticresistant infections in hospitals around the world. And with human-driven #climatechange, drought conditions are expected to increase.

#Alcohol or #HydrogenPeroxide? When to Use

Both #rubbingalcohol and hydrogen #peroxide kill #germs, making them tempting to use on a cut or #wound. But with those germs, they’re also killing good #bacteria and irritating your #skin.

This is the idiot that the fascist regime thinks should be in charge of the Pentagon, our military, and its $900 Billion budget.

“The body will destroy the germs of a physical illness within a week; but the mind will preserve germs of morbidity or fear for a lifetime.”

A blood test for long #Covid is possible, new research suggests
The research is among the first to prove that "#LongCovid is, in fact, a biological illness," said David Putrino, principal investigator of the new study and a professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. The activity of #immune system cells called #Tcells and #Bcells — which help fight off #germs — was "irregular" in long Covid patients, Putrino said.
