80% of antibiotics aren't used by humans. They're used on animals to increase size and profitability. Much of these find their way into the waterways and are contibuting to micro-organisms that are developing a gradual resistance to current anti-biotics.
80% (can you believe it) are used in farms. And not for illness.
Recent articles have described this situation as the single greatest threat to humankind right now. The prevalance of antibiotics in groundwaters is allowing But verybacteria to become resistent to anti-biotics so much that it will soon be a threat.
This means that before long people will die of stuff that belonged in the past: TB etc. But very few people are taking notice. The apocalypse of the future might not be about some new strain: it might be about diseases we almost killed that resurge and kill us in millions.
Killing in millions means apocalyptic situations.
Is this sci-fi or reality? You pick.

+3People run to the doctor for every little thing. Doctors prescribe antibiotics to often. I let my natural imunity work before i see a doc. If antibiotics are used to much the body loses its natural ability to fight off infection.

Old saying...you are what you eat...If the animals were treated humainly then they would not have to feed them this crap...mistreat your food and you get what you give...reply - La 2012/05/12 00:12:19Yep, we'll be wiped out by stuff we already thought we'd lickedI really do. For animals as well as humans. Doctors prescribe antibiotics for a simple virus all the time. Dear doctors, if it's not bacterial, no one needs antibiotics.reply
