FDA approved spraying it on beef and poultry to kill bacteria. That will kill the bacteria, I'm sure...but what will happen when you eat the virus?

    The bacteria I am familiar with. It is a nasty one and it gives you one wicked food poisoning. The non technical version of this is <it makes salmonella look like a church school picnic>.

    The bacteriophages are ones that attack certain points on the bacteria. They are not thermally stable and will be killed when cooked. You body will digest them as a noter source of protein.
