Hi steemian ..
When I review the ladybugs, but different from before because on this occasion we will discuss the benefits of ladybirds for human health.

In nature, the presence of ladybirds or small beetles is often overlooked because of its small and not very attractive. But beneath its humble appearance, there are medicinal compounds that can be developed into tuberculosis and malaria drugs.

Small Ladybug or also known by the name of the beetle harlequin (Harmonia axyridis) is easily recognizable from its tiny shape and its spotted motif. Although small, these insects are quite toxic to other insect species that are used by farmers as pest control.

Not only harmful to other insects, ladybugs can also trigger allergic reactions in humans who fun to disturb him. Toxins in fluids such as blood coming out of their legs in an emergency condition can cause at least itching.

The liquid that scientists call 'blood reflex' is actually already often used as a furniture dye. Now the benefits multiply, after scientists from the University of Wurzburg to find properties similar to antibiotics in it.

In experiments in the laboratory, the scientists managed to isolate harmoline compounds from a blood-like ladybug. When tested, the compound is able to inhibit the growth of 12 harmful bacteria, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) known as superbug.

"The broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity in the blood of the ladybird shows that harmonine is a crushing factor for boosting immunity.

In addition to MRSA, other dangerous germs that can be inhibited by the growth of blood ladybugs, among other TB germs that are resistant drugs, malaria and Eschericia coli causes abdominal pain. Unfortunately for human use, it still needs development to modify it as a medicine.
