I want a "Field guide for Microbes!" An application (for the public) I think, is like I PCR test my cats for URI's. With PCR testing we now can find buggies that before we didn't know were on the animals (making them sick). Now, we can target those EXACT bugs to kill them & cure animals. I had to learn this from the Russians (I think they might be ahead of us). In their animal world anyway.
Very interesting video! Thank you, Virginia @Atlantis Cats www.hairlesskittens.com
