#LifeChangingDiscovery #5 Louis Pasteur Before French chemist Louis Pasteurbegan experimenting with bacteria in the 1860s, people did not know what caused disease. Henot only discovered that disease came from microorganisms, but he also realized that bacteria could be killed by heat and disinfectant. This idea caused doctors to wash their hands and sterilize their instruments, which has saved millions of lives. Cool huh? :-) ~Emex
