While an interesting subject, the Title alone might provoke some interesting comments as well for those of you who may still be on lunch break.

Something like not showering, but still not getting a rash?

You have to admit, that does explain an awful lot about the French.
To: poobear
One antibiotic—I do not recall which—was developed from Norwegien mud; why not French dirt?

See, I knew the Title would pull out a few goodies.

Sounds stupid, but there is a particular type of clay here that sick pigs can root in. Whatever is in the clay cures the pigs. Go figure!
To: poobear
Packed clay probably also doesn’t allow oxygen to get through so that the bacteria can’t “breathe”.

You know, you may have to ping chemical/medical expert FReeper. ‘Cause I don’t have a clue. I’ll try Neverdem.

Science continues to reveal how we are in the dark ages when it comes to using existing elements on this planet to defeat other elements. there was an interesting article about how Stuyvesant Park in New York City imported tens of thousands of ladybugs, in order to kill leaf eating caterpillars, instead of using toxic pesticides.

Sure, but can it kill arrogant French waiters???????

Don’t know if it’s related or not, but it’s been shown that copper will kill many kinds of bacteria, including MRSA. Tests have shown that MRSA will survive on stainless steel surfaces at room temperature for up to 3 days. Under the same conditions on a copper surface it survives about 90 minutes.

From
this paper, I confirmed that MSRA is indeed an "aerobic isolate".
