      @@LineOfThy they're also deadly because of their design. They look like they were engineered. They have a head far away from the host, a body, and legs to attach to the host with a needle. Just like a syringe without legs. They look so much different than any other bacteria they are leagues ahead in evolution. It's a good thing that bacteria that hurts humans doesn't look like that because it would be way more deadly.

  • @helpfulinterdimentionalfor8692

    This is why you should ALWAYS finish a course of antibiotics when prescribed.
    Even when you're feeling better.
    Because then if there's one or a few bacteria left, we basically speed up evolution. The strongsst survive, even on a microscopic scale.

    Despite phages looking more complex(which some people expect them to be rarer than other viruses),
    The odd truth is that bacteriophages are actually among the most common viruses on Earth,
    Which does make sense since bacteria cells are more common then the cells of all other organisms combined including the smallest members?
