      I believe that there are probably ways to treat, and maybe cure, almost all the diseases on Earth – we just haven’t discovered them yet! Unfortunately, it takes a long time (sometimes 10-20 years from the point of discovery) to research and test new cures to make sure they are safe to use on humans, so it’s a slow process!

      In fact, some disease-causing parasites and pathogens are evolving to resist antibiotics, which means that we’ll have to come up with new ways to tackle those diseases!
