Is it true that there are now superbugs?

Question

I have heard rumours that there are now super bugs! Is it true? How big are they, because i have never seen one? Also what sort of protection is good against them? hould i put iron gates on all my windows? Please give advice as im worried i could soon be attacked by one!

Answer 1

I'd say you are referring to bacteria that has become antibiotic resistant such as:

MRSA - Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus  Aureus

VRE - Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci

There are more than this but these are the ones I am familiar with.

Overuse of broad spectrum antibiotics has been one the causes of this problem, particularly in the case of MRSA

The diseases they cause are really only a problem in hospitals.

Answer 2

I don't think  this is true. No worries

Answer 3

hahahah thank you i needed a laugh today

Answer 4

Wow....Its a sickness.

Answer 5

Yeah, basically you should come check out my brother-in-law.  He's about 6 foot tall and annoying as all get out.  I avoid him at all cost and if I need to speak with him I try to wear a biohazard suit.  Iron gates on the windows don't seem to help because he still manages to climb into the house somehow.  I tried for years to deter the development of this creature, unsuccessfully and now, I don't see a viable cure.  I don't think he can be eradicated by conventional means.  If I have success, I will let you know.

Have a peaceful day.
