Two days ago scientists have discovered something new that doctors could ground- up cockroaches brains and then the brain has something in that fight diseases and infections. cockroaches have a compound that can kill E, you can get E by eating food or drinking something. E can cause infection, and that means your going to the hospital. Scientists have also seen that is the middle east there are these bugs called Locusts which is a type of grass hopper and they some how keep infections away. And this bug goes into the most disgusting places like died peoples tissue, in sewage, in drainage pipes and now scientists are trying to figure out how do they fight of the bacteria and parasites.
And Locust and cockroaches have some kind of infection killer in there blood. Scientists say its to early to go to a drug store and say i want cockroach but maybe later in the year cockroach might help humans fight infections.
I thought that this was a really interesting article and that if the scientist can pull it of to make cockroach brains help human fight infections.
I can't get this image out of my head: the surgeon walks in, cracks off the cockroach's head, dumps the brains into a pepper grinder, and gets to work on you injury.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, back to the article.
It was a bit hard to understand (e.g. "that doctors could ground- up cockroaches brains" ??) But you mostly told what needed to be told. I didn't really understand E. Is it E. Coli?
