when entering a biocontainment facility hot zone, you must wear a hazmat suit, and a have a self contained oxygen supply. before entering and exiting the hot zone, there are numerous rooms you must go through depending on the level. If it is a level 4, you must go through a vaccume room, go under ultra-violet rays, and take special showers designed to kill the biohazarderous diease. Before entering a hot zone, you must have exstensive training. Not anyone can put on a hazmat suit and walk into a biohazerdous facility.

blog #6 (poem)

It is something they must face,
and they must fight
whether they ein or lose,
its there, inside of them
hard to see

They're truly scared of what can be,
of what lurks beneath their skin.

They dont know where to go next,
or if they will win the battle,
But we're here to keep them strong,
and forever help them with their disease.

blog #5 (bacteria)

                      Lactobacilli:

lactobacilli is a benefitcial bacteria found in foods such as buttermilk, yoghurt,  sour cream, and some frozen desserts. the purpose of  this bacteria is to turn carbohydrates and sugars into lactic acid. The bacteria lowers the pH and lowers the risk of other harmful bacteria growing on that food. This is good for people who are trying to lower their risk of gastrointestinal infections. http://www.buzzle.com/articles/beneficial-bacteria.html

 

                         E. coli :

E. coli is a deadly bacteria that thrive in the intestines of humans and animals. E. coli can be spread through food, making it a food born illness. Some of the symtoms of this food illness is diarrhea, hermorrhagic colitis ( bloody diarrhea), and food poisoning like symptoms. If not treated properly , eating a conaminated food 

with E.coli, can lead to death.

blog #4

I  recently finished reading an article about a new earthlike planet that scientist have dicovered. The planet is just 20 light years away in the libra constellation. Scientist say that the planet may have the right conditions to sustain life forms. The planets surface temperature ranges  -24 degrees to 10 degrees , but may vary. That is  an ideal surface temperature for liquid water. “It’s pretty hard to imagine that water wouldn’t be there,” those are the words that Vogt spoke. Maybe one day in the distant future man will reach the planet.

I think that this article is important, because for the past ten years scientist have been looking for planets outside of our solar sytem that would be ideal for life. This is a huge step into exploring planets that life forms might be able to walk on one day. This is just the beginning of a whole new chapter in science.
