Health Doctors discover 'super honey' with amazing power to treat wounds and kill superbug infections

[The Helper]

A new honey has been produced that has had ‘amazing’ results treating wounds and infections.

The bio-engineered product Surgihoney was tested on babies, new mothers, cancer patients and the elderly for over a year in Hampshire hospitals.

Wounds and ulcers, including those infected with the superbug MRSA, healed within days, while the number of women who suffered infections after giving birth by caesarean section has halved.

It has also healed the wounds of soldiers returning from Afghanistan, and been used to treat acne and to protect the skin of cancer patients fitted with a catheter for chemotherapy.

Dr Matthew Dryden, consultant microbiologist at the Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: ‘It will revolutionise wound care around the world.’

Why is everything "super" these days? Did we not yet reach the days of MEGA?!
Or ULTRA maybe?

 

[camelCase]

How much? Take my money. I'm sure it tastes delicious or something.

 

[Solu9]

ULTRA-honey sure has a certain ring to it.

 

[camelCase]

wat. Have you been buying the cheap knock-offs?

 

[Mahucharn]

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY. *ahem* I mean.... This seems like a grand idea. We should really look into developing this further so that we can aid the medical field whilst keeping the hippies content.

Except super bugs would just become immune after a while right?

Possibly. If the bugs can adapt to whatever is in it that kills it. The good thing about Synthetic or Lab made honey is they can easily alter the formula and that might allow them to be able to change the stuff before the bugs have a chance to adapt...

The more they change the formula, the harder and harder it is to make it stable and useable. This results in higher costs, which is also why making new types of penicillin is difficult

Even so, that method will be able to increase the amount of time that treatment can be effective. If the bugs are just going to adapt though it would not be a long term solution for that.

Nah, I get a taste of a real honey. But it wasn't any better.

 

[camelCase]

Oh, well. More honey for the rest of us.

 

[FireCat]

Go ahead and eat your stinky honey "I'm Not Jealous"

 

[Accname]

You know FC, putting that sentence in quotation marks actually changes the meaning entirely.

 

[Varine]
