[QUOTE="True Grit Farms, post: 1306630, member: 24694"] As a nurse I have seen the devasting effects of "antibiotic resistant bacteria" at work. (I have even helplessly stood by while friends have slowly died from bacterial infections that nothing could touch.) Antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria are real folks, and there are more developing every day. The scientists can not keep up with the approval of new drugs to treat them as fast as they are emerging. Hence people are dying. Young people, with good immune systems. Dying of strains of pneumonia, wound infections, bacteria found in lakes and ponds. We are running out of options to treat MRSA (Methacillion Resistant Staph.) Which has morphed into VRE (Vancomycin Resistant) Vancomycin was the drug of choice, yet now ineffective in VRE.....This is how it works with over use of one drug, there is no end to it. So we must reserve our "big gun" antibiotics for the most severe.[/quote] I've never used any of those drugs on my cows. Did a doctor have to write a prescription for the patient to get and receive the "big gun" antibiotics? [/QUOTE]
