'kill superbug']

One wonders if the " secret oils " used could be Thyme and Oregano.

I was in the first Purdue essential oils class and my project for completion

was to test 20 essential oils in a zone of inhibition study. The bacterial

strains were B. subtilis and E coli. The two oils that definitely inhibited

the E.coli were Thymus vulgaris, Spain and Oregano Thymus capitus, Spain.

I would imagine that Butch Owen has some interesting info on bacteria and

Oregano.
