If you have a thing about hypodermic needles and all that injection stuff, you’re going to love this. Researchers have developed a type of salmonella bacteria that, when dripped into the mouths of rodents, can trigger the mouse’s immune system without causing further harm. Why? Because it basically kills itself shortly upon arrival.
Hopefully the technology can be applied to viruses, fungi and other baddies soon. How soon? Human tests are expected within a year.
