It has been discovered and is currently being researched, that alligator blood has the abiity to help cure anti-biotic resistant infections. It was first found, when alligators suffer from territorial fights, that even with open wounds- they dont get infected or show and synthoms.
"We're very excited about the potential of these alligator blood proteins as both antibacterial and antifungal agents," said study co-author Dr. Mark Merchant, a biochemist at McNeese State University in Lake Charles, La, who hit up on the idea of studying alligator blood after noticing the creatures have a remarkable ability to resist infection, despite living in swamp water teeming with bacteria and often losing limbs in territorial tussles."
The breaking discovery can lead to curs for many things: E. Coli, Salmonella, food poisoning, MSRA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), etc. Their immune system is strong enough that they dont need to be exposed to a weakened pathogen. Hopefully in the future and right now, lots of entrepenurs will invest in this study and help find useful products.
