As MRSD said, this won't make news for a year or two.....when we get a major outbreak of some gram negative, bug, let's just pick on Salmonella, for the heck of it.

So, there are 2000 strains of Salmonella, most of them, harmless. 12 or so bestow nasty disease.....never the less, let's say, this plasmid gets into these 2000 Salmonella types....ugh...I would have a toxic waste dump in my backyard, and kiss my chickens goodbye... Poor Lars.

Seriously tho....this is nasty....not good...swill dwelling crud that will become everyday stuff for us. One antibiotic for it, is toxic to the kidneys and 'fell out of favor' which means they only use it if you are going to die anyway.

My house is not sanitary clean by any means.....it never will be.

I am now, not using just any shoe in the coop....now it is going to be farm boots....and this is a dinky coop. Chickens poo, A LOT, and while they sleep, too, unlike us...well, usually.

Oh, I will be fine, since, I don't think my particular area has a case, but IL does....ALL US cases were CAUGHT in Asia...they are not saying how many die in Pakistan or India yearly from these antibiotic resistant infections. Heck, they probably don't know....since they likely just call it the obvious.

Count me out on any foreign medical tourism, cosmetic. I am growing old and ugly, thank you very much.
