Bacteria is coming for you...

   Hey you guy's wanna hear something that's gonna make you laugh?  While bacteria isn't something that comes up in most conversations you really should think about the little guy's.
 
   I know this sounds like a boring topic it really isn't.  Why?  Glad you asked.  The human body is an incubator for these microbes, you literally have trillions of them in or on you right now.  Here's the rub, they are supposed to be there, we have what's called a symbiotic relationship.  They help us and we help them, it's worked out great for years.  Now there are some very nasty, even deadly ones out there: Meningitis and e-coli just to name a couple.

   Both can be deadly, one can be prevented by simply washing your hands (I'll let you guess), the other is usually spread via bodily fluids or close contact with someone who is already infected.  Now do you realize that in most all animal meat you eat the feed has antibiotics in them.  As do most soaps nowadays, even tissues.  Big industry and some larger chemical companies would have you believe that unless you kill every single germ you'll get sick and croak.

  Anti bacterial's are exactly what they are advertised as, and if we make ourselves too sterile, guess what?  Our defenses are lowered and when a new bug comes along and one will (they always do) we're fucked.  All I'm saying is don't make everything you purchase based on seeing anti bacterial on the label.  It may save your life one day.  Also free range animals, while more expensive are actually better for you.
AMF...
