Fritz: Whatcha doin, Bixby! Playing junior scientist? Bixby: No... I'm trying to come up with the next Botox! That stuff's a gold mine! And you know how Botox is made from botulism? Well, I figure there must be another fatal disease out there that'll make a great wrinkle treatment! So I got some malaria smallpox, dengue fever and so forth, and I've been experimenting. Fritz: Wait, those vials are filled with deadly, infectious diseases?? Bixby: Yeah, but I haven't had much luck yet. Fritz: Penicillin! I need penicillin! Bixby: nah, I tried that. Penicillin doesn't work on wrinkles. Hamhock: This malaria mask is starting to make me woozy...

Malaria and Small Poxare viruses (don’t know about dengue). Penicillin is an antibiotic, it would. Have no effect on a virus, only on bacteria.C’mon people, Freshman biology!

Malaria is a parasite and dengue is a virus. Penicillin doesn’t work on those.

Botulism is not a disease. You can only get it if you eat the toxin which the bacteria produce. The bacteria can be dead and anyway, cant reproduce in living organisms because oxygen kills them.
