Another pupil of Koch was the now forgotten hero, Dr. Garré of Basel, who gravely rubbed whole test tubes full of another kind of microbe – which Pasteur had alleged was the cause of boils – into his own arm. Garré came down horribly with an enormous carbuncle and twenty boils – the tremendous dose of microbes he shot into himself might easily have finished him – but he dismissed his danger as merely "unpleasant" and shouted triumphantly: "I know that this microbe, this staphylococcus, is the true cause of boils and carbuncles!"
