In the past, the blame for the growth of drug-resistant superbugs was pinned on doctors who over- prescribed antibiotics to patients but alas, it has been discoverd that there is the over-use of drugs within the agricultural world, especially in the production of cheap supermarket chicken.


Experts are warning that the overuse of antibiotics in poultry farms around the world is creating a generation of superbugs that are resistant to treatment by virtually every drug in the medical armoury.

These bacteria, can be transferred to humans during the handling of infected meat or the eating of undercooked produce.

The bacteria will then survive in the gut before potentially triggering illnesses such as persistent urinary infections or, more seriously, blood poisoning, also known as sepsis.The condition strikes hard and fast and kills 37,000 people a year in the UK.

So here is it...it really is hard to determine what chicken has been grown with excessive drugs or not...but to be on a safe side, always buy a live chicken, locally grown when you can!
