You’re welcome, PA Engineer!
[[There are plenty of harmless and even useful bacteria and viruses in human bodies.]]
True, however, Staph is kinda worrying (although I believe we have a form of ‘normal’ staph and mrsa staff that lives naturally in our noses)
1 in 3 people carry staff, and more and ore people are carrying mrsa-
The concerning part is when it gets into your system and multiplies
[[ In which case the “dormant” would not really be the proper adjective anymore.]]
Yeah, I wasn’t sure the adjective- perhaps ‘inactivated’?
Yes, the extract deactivates the mechanism of toxin production and virulence in S.aureus, without killing the bacteria and potentially introducing microflora imbalance in some individuals, which often happens with broad spectrum antibiotics.
The parallel would be something like defanging and/or removing the venom glands of a snake.

They can still give you salmonella
So don't eat raw snake sashimi or sushi ;-) Eat yummy unagi or anago (sweet eel) instead. If you are more adventurous, go to expert licensed sushi master and try fugu (puffer fish / blowfish) sashimi.
The poison (tetrodotoxin may be up to 1200 times deadlier than cyanide) from one fugu may kill up to 30 people, but if the chef does his job right, the experience is sublime.

I ate that only once in my life, and I died, but I took some vitamins and I’m much better now
thanks!
