Meta Minute

• Although Joseph Lister was a renowned surgeon (for whom Listerine mouthwash is named) he did not discover germs, but merely applied the theory developed by others.

The idea that germs cause disease was first purposed on 1546 by Girolamo Fracastoro, and first demonstrated by Agostino Bassi between 1803 and 1813.

For more info, go to 'Germ theory of disease' on Wikipedia
