Completely antibiotic resistent bacteria found in US.

To an extent. That the vast majority of antibiotics get used on livestock tells me the vast majority of the problem is there.

Does Kid realize he is one of the ones more likely to be thinned by a lack of working antibiotics?

Shhh!

The vast majority of (antibiotic-resistant or otherwise) pathogens in livestock are harmless to us. You'd need to study what percentage of antibiotic resistant pathogens in humans evolved that resistance while they were bovine pathogens and then jumped species, and what percentage evolved resistance while being human pathogens.

I'm counting on it.

Very true but they do go back and forth from animals to humans. In fact, most human diseases started off in our animal friends. I am sure Pchang is right about human misuse but it seems like we could at least stop their use to promote growth in animals very easily.

Do you have a death wish or something, man?

Not really, but I'm almost 48. I could go any day now. It's better me than someone else.
