The Cure?

If you could develop a vaccine to keep
Most germs at bay. What would you choose
Microchemistry aside, to save so many from sleep?
Unicorns breath? Something more arcane? Try but you will lose.
No, the best medicine for common germs is strong immunity.
If that is so then who among can shield our systems from hell?
The lowly horseshoe crab might be the best (of family Limulidae) 

Yes this arthropod is sturdy and not just for its shell.
Below the depths for 450 million years the HC has survived.
You want an elixir from Ebola? Our friend must have it inside. 

For imagine all the germs it has bested after all it has imbibed.
I think that we shell never see a life form tough as old HC. Besides
Really wonderful things have already been done in Medicine with HC blood.
Every piece of knowledge we cherish may be saved by one who slogs through mud.
