This is no run of the mill health scare. This is the real thing. I have spent almost decade on this disaster, day after day: there at the beginning, with pigs and in pig country when the horror story started. We decided on a self-sufficient lifestyle and walked into a nightmare. There is little doubt that MRSA in pigs has been leaking into the hospitals for some years. There was a nasty mutation to a porcine circovirus in Britain in 1999 which caused an epidemic that required huge quantities of antibiotics to handle the consequences. MRSA in pigs was the result, usually the ST398 strain. The Dutch picked up the problem about four years ago and commendably made everything they knew public. Both circovirus and MRSA epidemics have now travelled the world along with accompanying cover-ups. It is quite a nasty situation - now coming to light in the USA. MRSA st398, mutated circovirus and various other unpleasant zoonotic diseases have now reached American pig farms. The people exposing the scandal in the US are to be commended. I have extensive records available to anyone researching the link and can often answer general questions quickly and accurately. – Regards Pat Gardiner Release the results of testing British pigs for MRSA and C.Diff now! http://www.go-self-sufficient.com and http://animal-epidemics.blogspot.com You are right Scientific American and others did right to highlight the problem.
