Stinky Bacteria

John came home from his week-long innovator's road trip with some super-stinky clothes. Not dirty John stink. Anaerobe stink. (That's right you lab rats out there. This one's for you.)

One of the stops on their road trip was to a distillery. I'm not sure what innovations they were able to learn about at a distillery, but they did learn that making hard liquor is smellier than you'd think. Apparently, after the fermentation step, they need to clean the excess water they'd used. How, you ask? With anaerobes. The smelliest class of bacteria out there. I'm not sure how that makes the water cleaner...

John got in so late last night that he dropped everything by the door and went to bed. This morning when I sat down in the living room about five feet from the front door, I suddenly sat up and jumped into action. I could smell a nasty bacteria and I wanted it found and destroyed. I said "I know that smell!" And John replied "It's my jacket. From the anaerobe room."

Yikes! Needless to say, John's laundry did not wait another second. The suitcase will be disinfected too. I don't care if it's just the smell. I don't want even a single one of those bacteria in my house!
