# Virus that helps us by saving from disease 😲 Scientists have already found a few cases in which this happens naturally. As "phage virus" move around the body looking for bacteria, some of them bind to our intestinal cells where they can wait for a vulnerable host to come by. This process could theoretically protect us from some illnesses. Say you eat food contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. If the bacteria brush along the stomach's membrane, phages there could infect the bacteria and kill them quickly before they can cause disease. 😍 In this way, phages may serve as a "de facto immune system" that protects us against disease. No one has proved this yet, but in 2019 a research group in Finland showed that phages bound to mucus in pigs and rainbow trout persisted there for seven days and protected against one kind of bacterium that infects these animals. Please do extra research before believing anything. Happy reading❤️
