"This may seem like a stuipid question and probably is, but musn't they fit into the eco-system somehow. "
"Bad bacteria are only bad subjectively, in our opinion, because they are detrimental to our health."
Both true. That is what I was Saying a couple of posts ago. That bacteria has no moral value itself. Neither does a virus. They can be very deadly to humans, and so we attach a moral value to them, but it is silliness. Because if we don't want the "bad" bacteria then we are left separated from life. All of the things we think are bad, like sickness, death, lack of control; these are all necessary. Try to make a world without death, see where it gets you. It's like trying to make a world without fire.
All the anti-bac soap, and more so the misuse of antibiotics do lead to a damaging of all bacteria. That's why you get grumpy belly when you take amoxicillin. And it is silly to cover your house in anti-bacterial shit because 99% of those bacteria are benign or helpful.
And we must accept the sco-system as it is, and not fight to hard against it. That is where us humans get ourselves into trouble, we try to control that what we cannot (or should not), and it leads to problems.
