According to an article on Yahoo Health, Japan has found a gene in bacteria responsible for making bugs into superbugs (drug-resistant to antibiotics). Right now, the gene is widespread in India. Expect it to come to the states soon I would imagine. This gene will make antibiotic resistance a huge issue for all.

If swine flu caused massive panic last year, I think this is going to make the swine flu panic look like child's play. The wait at the doctor's office will become longer as panic over illnesses rise, antibiotics will be given less, and people will be start looking more at life insurance like at Wholesaleinsurance.net.  Despite antibiotics being over-prescribed, they are also life-saving.  Is that going to change now?

I am so not looking forward to the next health panic.
