Can bacteria kill?

In: Medication and Drugs, Microbiology, Bacteria [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes, some bacteria can kill you. If it gets into your open scrape or the water you drank from the river yesterday afternoon. It can kill you. If you feel like you have been exposed to bacteria call doc and tell him about it. Maybe he will pencil you in for a check-up. It's better to be safe than dead.
