An ancient folk remedy from County Fermanagh could help scientists in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria. According to local belief, the soil from a churchyard in Boho can cure infections. A microbiologist who took samples to see if there was any scientific basis for the cure has made an astonishing discovery. Dr Gerry Quinn found a unique strain of streptomyces, a microorganism used to produce antibiotics. It was found to kill the top three pathogens (organisms that cause disease) identified by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a major threat to human health.

Once the Phage was all the rage,
He featured on Horizon.
Will he answer when we need him,
Warm and brown with flies on?

King Penicillin's on his death-bed,
So might we be too,
If the Phage of hearts,
With attendant farts,
Doesn't answer, are we through?

But Phage is in your stommick and asleepin' down below! :sstorm:
