quote [ A potion made from a medieval medical recipe killed MRSA bacteria in the lab, raising hopes it could lead to new treatments for modern-day skin infections ]

Killed? Corpse? Are you crazy? How is a dead cop supposed to fight microbes? They must be dissolved alive into countless microscopic officers with microscopic guns, microscopic handcuffs and microscopic pepper spray.
