"Scientists in China are hoping to turn Escherichia coli bacteria into a cancer-fighting ally. In a new study, they describe their creation of genetically engineered E. coli strains that can kill different types of tumors in mice."

LMAO, humanity never learns. Ever. History may not always repeat, but it definitely rhymes.

nothing to see here. e. coli is well-studied/engineered and extremely useful in the medical field. out of the hundreds of strains, most of them are completely harmless to humans and exist naturally in the gut.

just because you got the runs five years ago doesn't mean stuff like this doesn't have its place in medicine.

personally, i'd try an e. coli treatment before i let them blast me with chemo.

I had the runs YESTERDAY, my guy.

Mine was more of a general sentiment, not specific at all to this particular case. I also prefer my pork chops on the rarer side so I'm definitely not scared of a little e coli.
