If there are flies that fall into the drinks, dip the fly completely in the drink then discards it. Why? Even the flies are vectors and disease agents, but flies also has healing and anti-bacteria that are beneficial to humans.
Flies and Disease
In the year 1577, Mercurialis cast a glance at the possibility that flies is a disease-bearing insect to humans, but this opinion can not be strengthened by evidence. Only in the nineteenth century in-depth studies done to confirm this, for example, a study done by Professor J. Leidy in 1871. He is an expert in the field of insect or entomologist discovered flies are carriers of many germs to humans.
In 1929, H.Y. Yao, I.C. Yuan and D. Huie study flies in Beijing and found the flies exterior consists of approximately 3,683,000 bacteria and it's internal contain 6-8 times more germs than outward. It is mentioned in the book by Edward A. Steinhaus Insect Immunology issue of New York.
In 1912, health education brochures in America introduced flies as 'the most dangerous insect ever known'. Flies identified as the causal agent of typhoid fever, cholera, diarrhea, eye pain, and more.
Bidder On The Fly
This is confirmed by the scientists in the 20th century. For example, Shope in 1927, and Glaser 1938, found virus in the flies body that work to kills bacteria. Studies on housefly Musca domestica show, it contains bacteriophage virus that can kill Staphylococcus muscae, Escherichia coli, Salmonella paratyphi and Eberthella Typhosa germs that causes diarrhea and typhoid fever. This is the first discovery of a bacteriophage virus in insect and it stimulates the findings of others.
Before that, in 1926, J.I. Duncan found the active ingredients which is bacteria killer in the housefly intestinal. In 1939, Lal, Ghosal and Mukherji found flies could change the Vibrio cholera germs to other forms of non-hazardous germs. These findings are reported in the book The Housefly - Its Natural History, Medical Importance, and Control by Luther West.
Fly Larva
Fly life cycle begins with the egg. Eggs hatch and produce larvae, then transform to a pupa, and then into adult flies. All this is a process that should be through by a fly. Flies in the larval form is very beneficial in humans.
For example, MA Stewart, in 1934, found that flies larva, when 'dipped' into the wounds, it release ammonia and calcium carbonate material that makes the wound alkaline. In this case the germs can be killed & in addition it relieve swelling and prevent the death of cells. In addition this larvae ingest & kill the bacteria and germs. S.W. Simmons in 1935 also found, mucus released by the larvae are able to kill danger germs such as Staphylococcus aureus, Haemolytic streptococci and Clostridium welchii. Other than that, in the same year, W. Robinson found larvae also issued allantoin. Allantoin is a protein substance that helps the growth of cells. These findings are reported in a book written by Edward Steinhaus Insect Immunology.
These discoveries made fly larvae so popular & used to treat wounds especially in the 1930s. However it's popularity initially declining after the discovery of antibiotics. Recently, starting in 1982, the use of the larvae became popular initially based on the latest scientific studies. This was reported by the Indiana University Medical Faculty at www.soundmedicine.iu.edu.
For example, it's suggested to be used for treating wounds caused by diabetes. It is reported in the Diabetes Health Journal publications Mac 1995. Among medical institutions that have used this approach is the Long Beach Veterans Affairs Medical Center. In the Netherlands medical experts reported they succeed to cure eleven extreme injuries cases by using fly larvae. This method is able to control the bacterial infection and save these cases from through the amputation. It is reported in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.
