Offer two reasonable solutions to slow or deter drug resistance among insects and bacteria

- Instead of modifying the drugs (we've been doing that, and it's a battle that will never end because bacteria and insects will continue adapting), we can modify the insects and the bacteria:

When we modify these two, it will probably take longer for us to notice th effects, but we'll see that by modyifing them to be less resistant or vunreable, they will have more trouble adapting, if they ever do.

- We can also try to make a drug-catalyst that speeds up the effects of a drug, making it more difficult for the instects and the bateria to resist.

Hope it helped,
