      Hey Mr Sheep!

      We don’t need to beat all bacteria! Some of them are good! But the bad bacteria we do need to beat! At the moment we use antibiotics in order to get rid of them but some of the bacteria have evolved to be resistant to them! (so they don’t kill the bacteria any more! boo!). I’m looking at using honey which causes bad bacteria to burst open! and makes them leak all of their “guts” out in to the environment which is pretty awesome! Some antibiotics odnt cause them to burst open though… others stop them from growing! they just stay as small tiny cells that will never grow or reproduce!

      Hope that helps you! Don’t forget to vote 🙂
