Every day the media flood us with information about miracle cures and supergerms. Pharmaceutical companies bombard with aggressive advertisements for drugs for all diseases. As a result, separating truth from fiction is almost impossible. What are supergerms? And why can our activities cause these germs to become even more malicious and dangerous?
In Water, Soap and Common Sense, Dr. Bonnie Henry presents the complex world of microbes in an accessible and exciting way - both pathogenic germs and those that help us stay healthy. It presents myths and misconceptions that the doctor usually does not have time to discuss in the office. It also explains the difference between viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. It presents the effectiveness of drugs and presents us with a fascinating history of discoveries of preventive vaccinations, drugs and other ways to protect against the most dangerous representatives of the ever-changing world of microbes.
