My sister died because anti-biotics were useless for her. A few months ago I had a bad tooth infection and was prescribed penicillin. It had always worked in the past but didn’t this time. The infection just kept getting worse. Luckily my dentist found an anti-biotic that did work. So don’t try to hand me that crap that anti-botic resistance are just govt scare stories. Are you a cattle farmer?
Oh I too almost died from pneumonia being treated to no avail with Biaxin, so yes, I am familiar with the problem. What I am questioning is the lack of connection between that issue and the purported cause-—meat.
Evidence is a little emaciated to say the least.
Nope, I am not a cattle farmer and don’t know any either.
The meds administered to cattle must cease 60-90 days prior to slaughter, depending on the med. That is so there are no traces of the meds in the animals system.
These meds area administered IM, intramuscular, or sub cue, under the skin. They are not administered orally, that is by mouth or via the feed. This is significant, The drugs admnistered to your sister IM or IV would have been ineffective orally. The same is true of the cattle drugs. Even if the drugs were present in the meat, it would have no effect on you, at least not as an antibiotic.
Furthermore, were it true that antibiotics were present in meat available for sale, news agencies would go down to their local store, buy some meat, have it tested, and tada, major news story, tainted meat, but that is not the case. To my knowledge, no one has done such a thing and it is simple enough to trace.
Also, we must keep our cattle meds cool. I would suspect that cooking the meat thoroughly would kill any effectiveness of any trace meds in meat.
Finally, if this were true, why do we not see a problem with dogs and cats? Carcasses go to renderers for whom there is no withdrawl times for meds. OF course this stuff is so thoroughly processed, it is unlikely that any meds present could survive with their effectiveness in tact.
Yes, I work around cattle.
