  Hey 11 alsylvester!
  
  Manuka honey (which is the best honey for killing bacteria) has things like methylglyoxal (MGO for short) and bee defensin-1 which cause some superbugs to burst open and leak their “guts” out! I love looking down the microscope and seeing this happen! it is awesome!
  
  If you have any more questions, ask away!
