Worried yet about antibiotic-resistant bugs?

You should be. Here's an interesting blog site, Extending the Cure, that looks at various aspects of the problem. Especially the March 12 post on pig farms and Multiple Drug Resistent Staph Aureus (MRSA) infections in pigs. Makes you want to skip your bacon, but you'll learn that even that won't protect you. Big question, of course, is how to turn the aircraft carrier that is the medical-industrial-agricultural complex to get results in time to save lots of us from misery or even...well I won't go there.
