Virginia. I think that without microorganisms where we live and work, we would very quickly perish!!!. The so called sterile environment is a myth and a fallacy - for living proof of this just check out a list of hospitals in your immediate area for long running staph infections or similar - Where our troubles come is when we create conditions that are to the advantage of the detrimental microbes (usually anaerobic) and the good bugs that normally keep the numbers in check loose out. ---- typical is the golden staph in an ALMOST sterilised hospital or E Coli infected meat from feedlot cattle that only requires a change of diet. We need to be real careful that we set the example with our language here as the destruction of beneficial microbes in our air and soils is/ has been the chemical corporations most successful sales tactic (accidental they would claim but are those guys that dumb--I dont think) All the best Greyhawk
