ABOUT THIS INVENTION: PENICILLIN |
While the discovery of Penicillin is attributed to the great Alexander Fleming, it was a Michigan man, John C. Sheehan who was able to first synthesize penicillin and create it for the masses. Originally from Battle Creek area, Sheehan, a molecular biologist was the first to crack the code on the chemical structure of penicillin V which led to a multitude of variations to be produced which is now administered as an antibiotic to millions of people each year. Most interestingly, penicillin has one of the highest allergic rates of all medication (estimated to be as high as 10%). More interestingly, I (MIKEY MAC) am one of those folks who is allergic to it!
The coordinates in this area are incredibly jumpy. Stage one is a large container at head level that shouldn't pose any difficulty. Solve the field puzzle / gadget at stage one to get the coordinates for the final. Please ensure to follow the directions on resetting the gadget. GPS signal is very jumpy, but the final is an ammo can hidden in a traditional manner.
