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.
