RE: Super bug bacteria in meat and poultry, study says
First off...Staph bacteria exist on everybody. In fact, you have staph bacteria on your body right now! But you also have a symbiotic relationship with the bacteria on your skin to keep foreign bacteria at bay...unless you religiously use anti-bacteria gels...Our bodys would not be able to exist without symbiotic relationships with other bacteria...e-coli in our gut digests plant material. Bacteria on our skin keeps infections down. What becomes a problem is when these bacteria go places they shouldn't, or are not in sufficient numbers to ward off offending bacterias. People become susceptible to bacterial infections when our own bacteria has been compromised through the overuse of hand sanitizers, anti-bacteria soaps or anit-biotic drugs. These things don't only affect the bad bacteria, but also our symbiotic bacteria...And when our symbiotic bacteria is weakened, then other bacterias can find a foot-hold, like the flesh-eating bacteria or even Shingles.
So, if you lay off of the anti-bacterial soaps and gels, (which do absolutely *NOTHING* to germs and viruses) don't consume raw meat and practice sanitary food preparation techniques, you should not have any problems with any sort of meat or meat related issues.
I think this falls squarely under the category of "Common Sense".
