Discover the compelling insights in 'Have Bacteria Won?,' a riveting exploration of modern bacteriology by renowned expert Hugh Pennington.

Description:
Today, we are far less likely to die from infection than at any other time in history, but still we worry about epidemics, the menace of antibiotic resistance and modern plagues like Ebola.In this timely new book, eminent bacteriologist Hugh Pennington explores why these fears remain and why they are unfounded. He reports on outright victories (such as smallpox), battles where the enemy is on its last stand (polio), surprise attacks from vegetarian bats (Ebola, SARS) and demented cows (BSE). Qualified optimism, he argues, is the message for the future but the battles will go on forever.

Cute idea! Very powerful
Style: Dinosaur
I love the concept of it, especially for little ones that like to shove toys in their mouths. But boy is it MESSY, lol. Water will absolutely get everywhere even if you put it on the lowest setting so I just let my kids hold it in the bath. They mostly suck in it so I'm not sure if it's actually flossing their teeth, but that's more of a user error, not a product error. I tried it on myself and it's pretty powerful even for an adult. It definitely functions well. The size is just perfect for an adult, kind of big for a toddler. Overall it's great value for your money in my opinion.
