“China’s reckless use of antibiotics in the health system and agricultural production is unleashing an explosion of drug resistant superbugs that endanger global health, according to leading scientists.
Chinese doctors routinely hand out multiple doses of antibiotics for simple maladies like the sore throats and the country’s farmers excessive dependence on the drugs has tainted the food chain.
Studies in China show a “frightening” increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus bacteria, also know as MRSA . There are warnings that new strains of antibiotic-resistant bugs will spread quickly through international air travel and internation food sourcing.”

Bit different to the UK…..you have to practically be dying before you get antibiotics here.

UNLEASH THE SUPERBUGS!
In a weird way it is kinda funny … humans create the same cycles .. Those bugs .. if there were too many, they’d become more weak after a while as well and many would die .. without antibiotics and alll that stuff used in agri culture that would have been the case as well, not due to humans only but due to the normal endless circles called life ..
The theory about antibiotics, I have had once antibiotics in my life. Why did they develop it in the first place if people who should have had antibiotics to prevend worse develop worse things upon a very simple thing.
Poland and such do give antibiotics pretty fast as well, did not have an influence here for sure .. so the theory stated in this article.. .. nah .. that’s not the only reason why super bugs would start to spread around the world. Bugs change here too after a few hot summers
China? Travel no further than your local NHS hospital or health centre and if you’re not contaminated with MRSA on the way in, there’s every chance you will be when you come out!
