After the debate about GMO's and there being the possibility of creating "superbugs" I thought this article might be interesting. In the article, they talk about how farmers are a huge contributor to the creation of these "superbugs". The drugs farmers use to reduce infections and disease in animals has led to the germs becoming resistant to the antibiotics. Something else that is alarming about these superbugs is that they are able to be transmitted between humans and livestock.
