Frozen pills filled with fecal matter may be the latest effective way to treat the often antibiotic resistant Clostridium difficile. A quarter million Americans are hospitalized due to Clostridium difficile, and suffer with terrible diarrhea, according to I Fucking Love Science. There are around 14,000 deaths a year due to this ailment. Previously, due to the ineffectiveness of antibiotics, treating Clostridium difficile meant having a “fecal microbiotia transplantation” or fecal transplant to “restore good gut bacteria” and destroy the bad.
