Have you heard of GMO superbugs? GMO infections? Genetically modified cancer cells? Have you heard of drug resistant bacteria? It may be invisible to the naked eye, but now dogs are proving they can sniff out the sickness!!
That's right, follow this:
The olfactory sense of dogs is a thousand times stronger than that of human beings. This is why dogs are able to pick up the scents that the human nose might not be able to detect. Natural News reports that this unique strength of dogs can now be used to pinpoint the origin of infections in hospitals. It may sound bizarre but it is true that dogs can sniff out Clostridium difficile an antibiotic resistant strain of bacteria which is the causative agent of hospital infections.

According
to a new study that is shortly going to be published in the British Medical
Journal, dogs are capable of sniffing out C-diff from stool samples and the
also from the air around patients in hospitals. The success rate of the dogs in
detecting the origin of infections is also high. This new study fortifies an
earlier concept of dogs being capable of detecting various types of cancer. It
has been found that C-diff occurs most commonly in patients who have just
completed a course of antibiotics in hospitals. The symptoms of the C-diff
infection may be a mild diarrhea or even unbearable and life threatening
inflammation in the bowel.
In
a drive to know whether or not dogs can be used to detect the C-diff infection,
