OT OT OT Response What the heck are you talking about??? "Anaerobic" means without oxygen. Not low oxygen. Anaerobic organisms count as some of our finest oldest diseases. You can include botulism, tetanus, and other nasty smelly gangrenous states as diseases caused by anaerobes. They have been with us forever. I would have to say that the vast majority of disease producing organisms are aerobic. Type A Strep--aerobic. Viruses? By their very nature, which causes them to use the cells own machinery to reproduce=aerobic. All the "new" diseases you describe are viruses(almost all). They almost certainly existed forever, but people didn't get exposed to them because we did not travel, did not interact in such a global manner. Ebola may be new to you, but it certainly has been killing Africans for hundreds of years. Candida? Nothing to do with oxygen levels. It is ever present. It just happens to reproduce at will when you kill off the native bacteria with antibiotics. Anyway, don't start worrying about Clostridial organisms(the nastiest anaerobes) taking over the earth. Ain't gonna happen.
