Potatoes help fight bioterrorism

Common cultivated vegetables like potatoes and carrots can help fight bioterrorism, Italian researchers said on November 17.

Speaking at a scientific conference between Italy and the United States, Italian scientists said the joint effort of the two countries' experts has resulted in a project about a ' vegetable vaccine '.

According to Italian scientists, not only is a dish, these vegetables also stimulate the production of antibodies, helping the human body have natural resistance to disease.

This is not the first time scientists have studied the possibility of developing medical treatments by converting the genetic structure of plants to fight dangerous viruses in nature. The study is also considering other bioterrorist threats such as anthrax virus, which has been conducted bilaterally more than two years ago. About 16.5 million euros from public and private funds were poured for this project.
