Everything readers ever wanted to know about deadly viruses, killer parasites, flesh-eating microbes, and other lifethreatening beasties but were afraid to ask

What disease, known as "the White Death" has killed 2 billion people, and counting?

What fatal disease lurks undetected in air conditioners and shower heads, waiting to become airborne?

How lethal is the Ebola virus, and will there ever be a cure for it?

How do you catch flesh-eating bacteria?

Killer Germs takes readers on a fascinating (sometimes horrifying) journey into the amazing world of viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and worms and explores the roles they have played in shaping the course of human history. From biblical plagues, to the AIDS crisis, to supergerms of the future, this updated and revised edition of the original covers the whole gamut of diseases that have threatened humanity since its origins.

It also includes a new chapter on the history of bioterrorism and the deplorable role it has played and is likely to play in the phenomenal diversity of diseases.

Did not fade my dark spots.
This is an amazing moisturizer. I love how light and creamy it is. It goes on and absorbs well with a light fragrance. Only 4 stars because it did nothing at all for dark spots. While really sad about that I would buy again as I like it that much.

A bit thinner than expected
This body cream feels nice on the skin and absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. It is a little thinner than I expected for a cream, but it still leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized. The scent is light and pleasant too.

Lightweight daily moisturizer for the softest skin (bonus: incredible subtle scent)
Already repurchased, will absolutely continue to be a staple in my routine. Smells amazing, lightweight texture that easily absorbs into my skin, and leaves my skin feeling so soft even a full 24+ hours later. Incredible price for the amount and quality of product. Dove you did your big one with this one.

Just an OKAY Moisturizer, That's it.
I think this is a good moisturizer, as far as anything else it claims such as an even skin tone, I wouldn’t agree. I used the bottle and didn’t notice any changes in my skin and blemish appearance. It’s not too thick and it’s not greasy. I will say I had a successful run with brightening my inner thighs. I added this to the mix, and for some reason, I began chafing leaving Little bumps in my inner thighs that turned into 50-60 dark spots 😭 I’ve never had a problem with chafing or dark spots from bumps in my inner thighs before. I’m not sure if it because I was using it in conjunction with something else it caused issues. I would recommend it as a lotion, but that’s it.

Absolutely Love It – Deep Hydration That Lasts!
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The Dove Body Cream Serum with Hyaluronic + Hydration has quickly become my go-to for tackling extra dry, flaky skin — and I absolutely love it! 💧 Deep, Lasting Hydration: From the first use, my skin felt instantly hydrated — and what’s even better? That hydration actually lasts throughout the day. No more reapplying! 🧴 Lightweight & Non-Sticky: It goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave that greasy or sticky feeling — just soft, nourished skin. 🌿 Skin-Loving Ingredients: With pro-ceramides, niacinamide, and collagen peptides, it feels more like a high-end skincare product than a typical lotion. My skin looks visibly healthier, more even-toned, and has a soft glow. ✨ Bonus: It’s gentle enough for daily use and has a clean, fresh scent that’s not overpowering. If you’re dealing with extra dry or flaky skin and want something that works and feels luxurious, this is it. Dove nailed it with this one — hydration, comfort, and glow in one bottle. #DoveBodyCare #HydrationThatLasts #SoftHealthySkin #DrySkinSolution #SkincareMustHave #GlowUpWithDove
