Can Neosporin Protect You From Getting COVID-19?
For years, researchers have been working on vaccines that aim to prevent viral infections by strengthening immune defenses at viruses’ doorway to the body: the nose.

In a thicket of prickly pear cacti near Valencia, Spain, a troop of predatory ants moves in for the kill. But their target—the white, shaggy-coated larva of a ladybug known as the mealybug ladybird (
Cryptolaemus montrouzieri
)—is far from defenseless. As the ants mount their attack, the juvenile beetle tenses its muscles and expels a drop of bright red fluid. Called hemolymph, the substance is chock-full of carminic acid, a toxic chemical that grants the liquid a bloodlike hue and prompts the ants to abandon their assault.
