MRSA - Soil Association
Pat Gardiner
Britain's hopelessly corrupt government vets are now on the rack,
heading for disgrace and a major unsympathetic international
investigation. They are in desperate trouble.
I can do no better than quote Warmwell:
November 24 2009 ~MRSA - "there can be no excuse for not introducing a
comprehensive UK testing programme in pigs, poultry cattle and
horses,"says Soil Association
The Soil Association is clearly sceptical that MRSA has not been found
in UK intensive pig farms: "the UK is the only large country in
Western Europe which has refused to carry out its own national survey
of pigs using nasal swabs."
"Farm-animal MRSA has developed due to the overuse of antibiotics on
factory farms. It can spread from farm animals to humans, where it has
already caused many life-threatening conditions including skin, blood,
heart and bone infections, as well as pneumonia....MRSA testing is
simple and relatively inexpensive and there can be no excuse for not
introducing a comprehensive UK testing programme in pigs, poultry
cattle and horses, based on the tried and tested use of nasal swabs. "
The SA gives the alarming Netherlands statistic: the proportion of
human MRSA cases of farm-animal origin rose from 0% in 2002 to 40% in
2008.
