I'm really fascinated by the Amy Proal Articles on bacterality.com

I've been reading the one entitled "Eye inflammation, vision, and bacteria"

http://bacteriality.com/2007/11/13/eyes/

and i've started writing an entry for the human eye in the site.

I went to check out visible body and it's now a subscription site that costs about $30 a month ):

I was able to get a 7 day account and get some ideas from the site though. The eye article comes of the peripheral nervous system. I wasn't sure where to put it before!

Anyway I was trying to find information about the microbiome and metagenome of the eyes but I haven't found much yet.

I listed some of the pathogenic bacteria in the article and I guess can also read related articles (some of which I have already listed as sources) and find out more. I can also search "eyes bacteria" on google and find out what problems people have had and find out what they did about them.

There was some articles that suggest that minocycline helps prevent advanced macular degeneration. http://doi.wiley.com/10.1111/j.1600-0420.2004.00150d.x

I've also got interested in antimicrobial peptides. I've looked this up and apparently they are in royal jelly and produced by the worker bees!
