An Arkansas Pilgrim’s Pride chicken hatchery has at least eight employees that have Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus i.e, have antibiotic-resistant staph infections.
Reportedly, the eight have been sick on and off for about a year. Who knows how many MRSA chickens Pilgrim is raising.
It’s all due to overfeeding antibiotics, of course.
And, the eight actually just seems to count those who are on leaves of absence right now. One anonymous employee claims that he/she and more than 30 other coworkers have had MRSA.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
