So the vaccine seems to have been approved in the US in 2023, so it's still very new. I assume antibiotics don't do anything against spores, so that is probably not a solution on its own. And I'd be curious what kind of sterilization procedure works for bacterial spores that would be feasible here?

- fabian2k 2y ago> Burning the hives was more painful when other countries used tools like vaccines, antibiotics and sterilisation - measures prohibited in New Zealand and in some export markets. This part of the article seems to imply that there are sterilization methods that aren't burning down the entire thing. Which I find a bit doubtful as spores are usually very hard to kill.
- bobmcnamara 2y agoYes, less fire, but still enough fire. You don't have to burn everything, but do need burn any spores on the surfaces.
