I would not be surprised if there was. Anything that has a market, high margins, and low complexity is ripe for counterfeitting.

Personally I would think why bother? I'd still be interested if it was marketed independantly as a cheaper, Bacteria House alternative.

This is the first I have heard of this. Well, the real test of worth is if it works the same, apparently it doesn't. Wonder who is making it?

A true counterfeit would be sold and marketed as Bacteria House. If they call it Bacteria Media or something like that then its just a knockoff.

It's called LAVA... It's actually the real BacHouse Media, formed millions of years ago, long before Japan was even formed...

Next time you're home I'll buy you a 2 cubic foot bag... Only $2.95... Stuffs all over the ground...

Alooooooooooha! Mike
