Humans are arrogant , and just when we think we know it all.......scientists find a new body part.

It's been a growing problem for years but it seems that more and more people are becoming aware of the real problem facing society of antibiotic resistance Take a look at this article from the Independent. Superbugs ".In a stark reflection of the seriousness of the threat, England's deputy chief medical officer, Professor John Watson, said: "I am concerned that in 20 years, if I go into hospital for a hip replacement, I could get an infection leading to major complications and possible death, simply because antibiotics no longer work as they do now."  When you look at how many pharmacy's now offer "Free" antibiotics you can see just how huge this problem is going to become.   "We try hard not to prescribe, but it's difficult in practice.
