This is interesting, never heard of it.

It reminded me of phage therapy for treating bacterial infections. There was an article about it here on HN not too long ago.

It is popular in Georgia (the country, not the state).

Phage therapy is also present in Poland. There is a research centre in Wroclaw, they produce and send experimental samples upon request. The numbers look very nice, although it's still experimental - formal clinical trials have not been completed.
