And without bacteria gripping nitrogen from the atmosphere and turning it into organic molecules called nucleotides and amino acids no large creatures could survive.

It amaze me in this world of such technology advancements we have only known for certain that certain bacteria cause many diseases the same length of time we invented the lightbulb.

The greatest minds were not so long ago apt to blame “ bad air” for cholera and too clean for the plague.

The world which-is just getting over Covid is now facing an outbreak of a virus called Monkey Disease. Fortunately these days we have worked out how to get out immune system to work more efficiently. Eg the Covid vaccine instructed our immune system how to act.

We are however a long way off explaining why it is that we spend billions trying to wipe out microbes/bacteria.

If all the microbes buried in the earth were to come to the surface the earth would be covered in them to the high of a twenty storey building.

When it comes to bacteria they is over 39 trillion frolic in each and every one of us. 79% of us is bacteria.

Anti microbial resistance is developing as one of the major urgent threats to humans. Costing trillions.

In 2010, 63 tons of antibiotics were used in livestock production worldwide, sabotaging decades of the global fight against many infectious diseases.

By the year 2050

Cancer will kill 8.3 million of us

Cholera 100 to 120,000

Diarrhoea 2.5 million

Measles 130,000

Road traffic accidents 1.2 million

Tetanus 60,000

Anti microbial Resistance 10 million

In the mean time we pour billions and billions of bottles of god only knows what down our drains from washing machines, to toilets, to swimming pools , carwashes , windscreen wipers, windows cleaners, graffiti removal, to test our livers.

DETTOL – Kills 99.9% of all known cling ons .

It’s no wonder our immune system are compromised.

All human comments appreciated. All like clicks chuck in the bin.
