I'm allergic to penicillin. So are my kids.

 

[SHAMPAIN]

Once positive tests were conducted on mice, the team tried treating humans on a small scale at the Radcliffe Hospital, initially with mixed results. After refining the trial process, it was discovered that penicillin was extremely effective in treating many conditions and infections that had previously proven fatal.

With the onset of the Second World War, the production of the drug for widespread use became their goal.

World at war
When war was declared in 1939, the Oxford team was not able to get enough support to begin large-scale manufacture and testing in Britain, despite the potential of their ‘wonder drug’. In 1941 the team approached the American government, who agreed to begin producing penicillin at a laboratory in Peoria, Illinois.

Further research was conducted to find new strains of penicillin that would provide higher outputs and make enough of the drug available for all Allied troops. Interestingly, the best strain was found growing on a rockmelon at a farmers market.

American pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer also began producing penicillin and the drug was in common use by Allied forces by the latter half of 1944.

Impact of penicillin
Penicillin saved thousands of lives during the Second World War and is considered one of the contributing factors to the Allied victory. After the war, the drug became available to the public and was used to treat otherwise fatal conditions. Penicillin essentially turned the tide against many common causes of death.

The development of penicillin also opened the door to the discovery of a number of new types of antibiotics, most of which are still used today to treat a variety of common illnesses. Without penicillin the development of many modern medical practices, including organ transplants and skin grafts, would not have been possible.

In 1945 Fleming, Florey and Chain received the Nobel Prize in medicine. Howard Florey has also been recognised many ways in Australia. There is a Canberra suburb named Florey, his likeness was on the 50-dollar note from 1973 to 1995 and there are a number of university research schools and fellowships named in his honour.

So Fleming said "Here's penicillin fuck knows how or why it works but here it is"? lol... No matter anyway it doesn't make me smarter who found its use...

Go get a history lesson about how many people died in the early days of taken penicillin... It wasn't just "discovering" it's existence so don't take credit when it was an Australian who led mankind into developing a use for it. Now, you shouldn't forget where modern day medicine came from... An Aussie, and it isn't the only thing medicine Aussies invented.

Cannot say I blame them, I love the beauty of Scotland but it gets boring after a while... I'd move to Oz in a heartbeat and it just might be easier than ever in the future =)

Perth WA is the best but it depends... each capital city has its charms....do a backpacker thing... Perth is very expensive...but also warm in winter and hell in summer. Always start touring Australia in Australia's winter. WA is nearly as big Europe with only roughly 3 million people.

my sister married a bloody dreadlocked Scottsman... Ian Martin. They are divorced now. My sister spent 3 years in Scotland. She worked at Brody's Tavern Edinburgh. They bloody well underpayed her, the tight fisted drongos.

One of my mates moved there, gold coast I'm sure it was... He got in easily because he's an electrician as there seems to be a shortage of trademen he only had to do some courses of the Australian way of doing things and he's working and living there full time now, he loves it and won't be coming back lol... The fishing is the big draw for me and the wildlife in general...

Sounds about right haha

If you are a wildlife warrior come to WA and help stop the remaining virgin habitat being swallowed up. Virgin Habitat is crucial for biodiversity. Google one of my public Fb groups, "Save the Trees Please.".... look at my photography by clicking media or photos...

Black people were agricultural powerhouses. That's why we wanted them here so badly.

And I think they invented rap.... though I dont really see that as a positive contribution.

 

[Biggie Smiles]

The Egyptians were black (mostly) and they built the pyramids

I'm allergic to penicillin. So are my kids.

so am I so I abstained for over 25 years and then came a time of no alternatives and miraculously I didn't have a reaction.... it's not just penicillin you all will be allergic to. There will be other things to.

I have 3 big ones, 1. Aspirin and foods chemically similar, 2. 220 preservative which is sulphur dioxide, 3. Bee stings and 4. mercifully much less these days, anti-biotics.

 

[Biggie Smiles]

I've never really understood hating someone based solely on the color of their skin.

Are there a lot of black people I hate? Sure. And there are just as many white ones. Hell, I'm peurto rican and can't think of a race of people I hate more, other than dominicans, than puerto ricans

 

[Omnipotent]

I always fantasized about having a time machine to go back and watched all the cultures and see how they did things... how they grew food, who developed recipes... that sort of thing.

I reckon there is at least 5 % of truly great people in every race and at least another 10% of good people in every race..... too many people though have been warped from being brutalized in some way.

I never knew you were Puerta Rican.. My Italian friend married a Puerto Rican from NY or New Jersey.... Steve Pontani... Do you know him?... His stepfather was Italian, hence the Italian surname.

His Italian father built shopping Malls... Steve came to Perth back in the early 80s. He was a marine... he met my friend Marina and they married....I bet you have people in common.
