      Luckily I haven’t found any. I have found bacteria that might cause disease, they certainly have the “weaponry” required to cause lots of different diseases. But often bacteria don’t work alone and its a mixed infection, or a normally harmless bacteria that causes a problem because it gets past our immune system. The most common way of doing that is breaching ourskin. Which is why we get swelling round cuts. That swelling is our immune system attacking the bacteria that have got in through the cut. These bacteria did not fly in but were naturally growing or our skin doing no harm at all.
      very overlooked part of the immune system our skin
