Antiseptic

A significant factor in an acute bacterial infection is the act of the bacteria attaching to the tissue.  In conjunction with the attachment of the bacteria, there is also the formation of "biofilms" which are described, in lay-blogger's terms, as "slime".  Plaque build up on teeth is an example of a biofilm.  So, when biofilms establish their slimy presence in affiliation with certain bacteria, like streptococci, it helps to protect the bacteria, namely from antibiotics, thus enabling the invading bacteria to be more persistent and viable.  (Anyone feel like meeting for lunch at the gym?)

It's been professed for a long time, that honey has all sorts of antiseptic properties.  Recently, Manuka honey (Manuka being a particular type of plant and also a region of the Australian provinces, named after the plant-->whereby one could fairly assume there are Manuka plants aplenty downunda), has made headlines as an especially effective form against major bacteria like the aforeshoutout to strep and the ever well publicized MRSA.  Honey can deter bacteria's attachment to tissue.

This blog has absolutely attempted honey face mask regiments which inevitably begs the question of visitors, "Hey, Bloggie, what's that bottle of honey doing in your bathroom."  Look, Reader, let's not get sticky.  Anyhow, this blog is all in favor of some capital to open a "Honey House" where one might enjoy a honey bath (in lieu of the long out of style mud bath).  There could be all variety of sweet treats to indulge in while bathing and, obviously, many take home products. 

Just saying, when honey vats start popping up at your local spas, yet again (albeit sans modesty), you  heard it here first.

Life sometimes can be antiseptic.
