This is a really cool article I just read. Would you use antibiotics from the brain of a cockroaches?

Cockroaches take advantage of our messy hospitality, skulking around in the cracks and holes of our houses and devouring the scraps we leave behind. Soon, though, maybe we’ll be the ones taking advantage of their fondness for filth. The brains of these insects carry some serious antibiotics—strong enough to slaughter bacteria that have evolved resistance to the hospital antibiotics we use. The researchers presented their work at the Society for General Microbiology meeting this week in England, and say that while the finding is terrific, it’s no surprise given the roaches’ living circumstances:

Well the buggers could survive a nuclear event...doesn't surprise me that they'd be able to fight off a lot of forms of bacteria. Nice find...

I always suspect that cockroaches are more intelligent than they seem and are actively plotting a form of biological warfare against humans as they amass their armies of germ virality from within our sewer systems.

Yes I believe roaches are planing an eternal struggle against man kind. Soon they will rise up and attack.

We need to figure out how to use their own immunities for our defense against their attacks, I'm all for it

Would explain alot. The amount of bacteria they are exposed to is too much to contemplate.

The crucial thing is not an immune system defeating the bacteria but actual antibiotics.

If you think about it...lobsters are the cockroaches of the sea. Shrimp and crawfish (langostinos) are of the same phylum. In which case, if you've eaten any of those things, then you have dined on the delicacy of the cockroaches' cousin.


Nice, Op. s&f

I would suggest you rethink rhis idea with great repentance. Their advanced scouts could start "District Nine" sooner rather than later. If you're having any doubts take a look at the link. www.aolnews.com... a-wows-the-web/19423132 www.aolnews.com...
