MRSA and Our Food

Study finds MRSA in U.S. pigs and farmers; UK reports 3 patients sickened with the bacterium from eating pork only.

An effective way to say there isn't a problem is simply to never look. That seems to be precisely what most U.S. government food-safety agencies are doing when it comes to determining whether the livestock in our food supply is contaminated with MRSA and if so, whether the often-fatal bacterium is being passed on to consumers who buy and consume that meat.

We know that some strains of MRSA - methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus -  are extremely dangerous. Dr. Monina Klevens, of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, examined the cases of the disease reported in hospitals, schools and prisons in one year and extrapolated that "94,360 invasive MRSA infections occurred in the United States in 2005; these infections were associated with death in 18,650 cases."

Silver Sol is the remedy.
