That's depressing as shit Kiki.

Guess we all better do whatever we can to stay out of hospitals.

It's strange. I listen to Joe Rogan all the time and I can't remember who he was talking to on the podcast that day but they were sharing war stories about how they had both gotten staph infections from a local gym.

What the shit?

Back when I spent 40 hours a week at the gym we didn't even think about stuff like that. I don't think I had ever even heard of it until well in my 30's.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

This (microbiology) is one of my formal areas of study in college and a personal interest to me ever since I started receiving the CDC's MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) as a tad in school. (... when it was still a geeky, plain, cheap-print pamphlet with statistics and new outbreaks and such.)

Even back then we were taught that as early as 5 years after the introduction of penicillin, resistance was showing up. This really isn't new news. Kind of like global warming, it's an academic observation/ prediction that saw the train coming down the tracks a long, long, long, way away. It's that, despite all foreknowledge, we never got off the tracks. And here it is.

Failed premise.

We are not smart, if we inject ourselves with poisons, fake sweenteners, GMOs, BGH, etc.

I'd be curious to know if people can end up being colonized by this bacteria and become asymptomatic carriers.

CDC Investigating Multistate Outbreak of Drug-Resistant Infections Linked to Pet Store Puppies

Over two dozen people have fallen ill—including four hospitalized—due to a multi-state drug-resistant infection outbreak linked to pet store puppies, health officials have said.

A total of 30 people have been infected by Campylobacter jejuni across 13 states, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a statement on Tuesday. No deaths have been reported.

The sick range from eight months old to 70 years old, with cases spread across Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah and Wyoming. The dates when the illnesses began range from January 6 of this year, to November 10.

The CDC said it is working with public health officials across the affected states to investigate the outbreak, which is believed to have been caused by contact with puppies—"especially those at pet stores."

Of the 24 individuals the authorities have spoken to, 21 had contact with a puppy, with 15 involving a pet store. Some 12 of those 15 cases were tied to the Petland chain, including 5 employees. Officials have not identified a single common puppy supplier linked to the outbreak.

"Illnesses might not yet be reported due to the time it takes between when a person becomes ill and when the illness is reported," the CDC stated.

The Campylobacter bacteria identified in the outbreak are resistant to commonly-used antibiotics, the CDC said.

In humans, the Campylobacter infection can cause a fever, diarrhea—which is often bloody—as well as stomach cramps. These symptoms appear between two to five days after the person comes in contact with the bug, and last for around a week. Most people don't require antibiotic treatment, according to the CDC, but those with severely weakened immune systems may need such drugs.

The health institute warned pet owners puppies and dogs can carry Campylobacter "even while appearing healthy and clean."
