Antibiotic Overuse
In order to reduce the likelihood that a sick animal would spread the disease to the herd, many livestock producers add antibiotics to their animal feed. Our meat contains a lot of antibiotics. The human tendency to flush excess medicine down the toilet can lead to antibiotics being absorbed into our water. The fish that end up on your plate also consume or absorb the antibiotics.
Some patients who are desperate ask for antibiotics even when they have a viral infection, so that they feel better.
We all consume antibiotics almost daily. Antibiotic resistance has reached a critical point due to this level of misuse. There will soon be super bacteria which medical science cannot treat. There are many new antibiotics being developed, but they’re not coming out fast enough. You should be scared if you feel that way.
