Strep throat, food poising, ear infections, pneumonia, and much more are all types of bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are very common throughout society today. Antibiotics prescribed by a doctor are what are used to treat bacterial infections. Antibiotics are relatively new to the world. The American Chemical Society tell the readers that penicillin first antibiotic, which was discovered by Alexander Fleming in 1928 and began production in the early 1940’s (Discovery and Development of Penicillin n.d). This means Fleming and scientist took about fifteen years to perfect penicillin into a usable antibiotic that would treat different types of infections. So, what did the victims of infection do before the invention of antibiotics? Using common items that can treat the infection is how people treated themselves. The infected did not let the infection keep harming them and tried to fight it off with things they knew how. My hypothesis is that natures golden healer, honey, would be the most effective killing bacteria. Honey is still one of the most popular ways of treating common illnesses. The following lab report test honey, garlic, and apple cider vinegar as possible items that can treat bacterial
