This basic habit is being stressed again in training hospitals. They may need to develop new strains of antibiotic to deal with it. There are remarkable examples of antibiotic chemicals produced naturally, by creatures for their own defense. The staph infections in hospitals have been a concern for several decades, but now being found in the regular population is extremely dangerous. It's too bad that the major pharmaceutical companies and government research agencies have never developed the macrophage treatment. The macrophage hunts and eats bacteria, while antibiotics just kill the bacteria in the area where it travels. Wasn't there some research about hand washing that came out a few weeks ago?
