Many people think I’m a Germaphobe just because I wash my hands every 33 minutes with 33 seconds but the fact is that… Ok, I am Germaphobe, but that doesn’t mean I’m afraid of all sorts of germs. Ok, so I AM afraid of all sorts of germs, but you got to believe me, there is a pretty good reason to be afraid of this particular one. It’s extra-deadly. No, really, it is, check this out:
You probably have seen how a person sick from salmonella look like, if not in person perhaps on TV or a magazine, but, do you ever wanted to see what does salmonella look like up close? Well, it’s your lucky day! I got a bucket of rotten chicken for you! There’s a picture of it above! Yes, that’s the real deal.
Now thanks to microscope-armed scientists you can see how actually look like deadly bacteria and viruses.
Scientists get closer to most deadly diseases than you’d ever want to. Here’s the only safe view of anthrax, salmonella, and more: through the scientist’s microscope.
So now you know how the killers will look like if there is a bacteriologic attack some time in the future. I don’t think this changes anything, but hey, at least now you know how they look like! ;)
there are a bunch more after the break in case you are not germophobe and also the link with a gallery of those microscopic bastards!. Link and pictures courtesy of Fox News.
