I've been wondering about these MRSA infections. I have to believe these super bugs evolved, in part, because of the US hysteria about germs. People want anti-biotics for every ailment. Everything is anti-bacterial. The grocery stores even have anti-bacterial wipes for shopping cart handles now. People just don't get that this is causing germs and viruses to become more resistent to the point where nothing we have will combat them. A certain amount of hygene is good, but as usual, we take a good thing and overdo it.
