Got MRSA meat?

[undergroundpanther]

Scientists and animal advocates agree that the presence of MRSA and other drug-resistant "superbugs" in large-scale feeding facilities spring from the routine feeding of antibiotics to livestock. About 100,000 Americans die each year after struggling with antibiotic-resistant infections, according to the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics and Policy, a public interest think tank.

With nearly 70% of antibiotics sold in the U.S. being used in factory farms, the findings add to already urgent questions about how animal-derived food in America is raised and brought to market.

I have gotten over the worst case of the trots I ever had in my life.I had no sleep,I was getting up every 15 minutes to hit the throne,too nauseated to drink.Before I knew it I was dehydrated,and after going ,I got real dizzy and unable to stand up.The phone rang but I couldn't answer it,and so later my roommate found me on the bathroom floor.She called the ambulance.I didn't know it then but I was on that floor for around 3 hours. I was in the ER until the next morning.I was being given anti nausea stuff,fluids and antibiotics.I had a UT infection,but the idea that I could be eating mrsa and it would sicken me WAY worse than that severe diarrhea did,kinda scares me..

1. I heard one MD say during a lecture to group of civilians...

"Don't ever touch raw meat, and don't ever touch people who touch raw meat."

He showed some pretty gross slides of something called "butcher's warts" caused by the various microbes that are carried on raw meat. And he did mention the prevalence of MRSA on supermarket raw meat. Granted, he was addressing a group of vegetarians, but he had some pretty scary data on the contamination found in ordinary packaged meat in the supermarket.

2. Just a quick FYI...you don't have to eat meat.

Or "animal-derived food"

Not suggesting anything, just making a statement of fact.

3. Actually I DO have to eat meat

Because I have metabolic issues and cannot digest most beans legumes and soy stuff.Not everyone can be a vegetarian.
My sister went vegetarian and it has taken a toll on her,she takes alot of supplements.
