Coffee and tea and bacteria

Drinking coffee and tea may lower the risk of getting infected with a potentially deadly superbug.

Researchers say people who drink coffee or tea are less likely to have M-R-S-A in their nasal passages.

Studies suggest having the bacteria in your nose significantly increases the risk of infection.

Researchers say they don’t know why coffee and tea reduce it, but other studies have found the drinks have the ability to kill bacteria.
