It’s only a matter of time before something really nasty gets loose into the general public....right now, there are a lot of people who for example have MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) carrying it around and not knowing it...when their immune system drops down too low...look out. Having been in the medical field for the past 15 or so years, I can tell you this wasn’t even something your average health care worker heard about much less was effected by when I first got involved...now they have an even more resistant form of MRSA...ugh. Doctors throw antibiotic around like candy, people wash their hands, their dishes and everything else with antibacterial soaps and detergents and the bugs adapt...people should have know that of course this would happen. We haven’t had a “major” epidemic since the last great flu outbreak in the early 1900’s...it WILL happen....lots of folks will unfortunately die. As the world gets more and more populated and travel around the world gets busier and busier...you will see more and more of these types of bugs. Wash your fricken hands people (not with antibacterial soap)...there isn’t much more that you can do other than become a hermit.
Oh yes I know...they think that there may even be more illnesses caused by the lack of beneficial flora then previously thought....from heart disease, to arthritis, to depression.
