Bogey Biology
Like microscopic armies
battling germy foes
a microbe war is raging
inside our snotty nose.
Staphylococcus aureus
can make us very ill.
Resistant to most medicines
it’s difficult to kill.
But scientists who study snot
have seen these bad germs die
when a different bacteria
is plentiful nearby.
They plan to use this winning germ
to make antibiotics.
Such science research might be called
exotic snot biotics!

I was fascinated by this inside-story about noses … apparently it’s a snotty battlefield up there! This new is not to be sneezed at – honestly
