Scientist injects himself with ‘eternal life’ bacteria
Anatoli Brouchkov, a scientist whose curiosity and thirst for knowledge drove him to go beyond the standard protocol of his experimentation by injecting himself with an ancient “Eternal Life” bacteria.
In 2009, a 3.5-million-year-old bacteria strain called Bacillus F was discovered deep in the permafrost of Siberia’s Sakha Republic. Scientists later found that mice and fruit flies exposed to the bacteria seemed to get a boost to their immune systems, leading to longer lives and fertility even into old age.
So, naturally, Anatoli Brouchkov, the head of the geocryology department at Moscow State University, decided to take it a step further. “After successful experiments on [the] mice and fruit flies, I thought it would be interesting to try the inactivated bacterial culture on himself.
