wilsonjames+FollowTyphoid Is Outsmarting Our MedsTyphoid fever is making a scary comeback—it's now resistant to almost every antibiotic we have. The last reliable pill, azithromycin, is starting to fail in some places, and when that happens, only expensive hospital treatments will work. Vaccines are helping, but the real fix is clean water and better sanitation. Wild to think a disease we thought was beat is now running circles around modern medicine! #TyphoidFever #AntibioticResistance #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth50Share
Adam Cox+FollowGerm Theory Drama: Old Myths Die HardDid you know people have been side-eyeing vaccines since the 1700s? Science historian Thomas Levenson’s new book spills the tea on how germ theory and vaccines faced haters from day one. From doctors refusing to wash their hands (yikes) to today’s anti-vax drama, it’s wild how old fears keep coming back. Plus, superbugs are on the rise and antibiotic resistance is the new villain. Are we repeating history or what? #HistoryRepeats #VaccinesWork #GermTheory #ScienceMatters #AntibioticResistance #Health50Share
Kevin Rodriguez+FollowMeet the 'Northern Lights' SuperbugA new antibiotic-resistant bacteria, Staphylococcus borealis (aka the 'Northern Lights' bug), is making headlines after being discovered in Norway. Unlike the well-known golden staph, this one resists multiple antibiotics—yikes! It mostly hangs out on our skin but can cause serious trouble for people with weak immune systems, especially the elderly or those with implants. Researchers are still figuring out what diseases it causes, but it’s already showing it can be tough to treat. Definitely one to watch! #HealthNews #AntibioticResistance #Superbug #MedicalResearch #PublicHealth #Health356Share
vincentwilson+FollowIs Your Washer Creating Superbugs?Here’s a wild thought: could your washing machine be a breeding ground for antibiotic-resistant bacteria? New research suggests most home washers don’t get hot enough to kill dangerous microbes, and repeated detergent use might actually help these bugs evolve resistance. If healthcare uniforms are washed at home, are we unknowingly fueling the next superbug crisis? Would you trust your washer to keep your family safe? Let’s debate! #Superbugs #HomeTech #AntibioticResistance #LaundryScience #InfectionControl #Tech40Share
Courtney Williams+FollowHospital Sinks: Hidden Germ Hotspots?!Did you know hospital sink drains are basically bacteria hotels? A new study found that these drains, especially in ICUs and General Medicine wards, are packed with all kinds of bacteria—including some superbugs resistant to antibiotics. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most common, and some strains even carry genes that make them tough to treat. Makes you think twice about what’s lurking just out of sight in hospitals! Infection control teams definitely have their work cut out for them. #HospitalHygiene #AntibioticResistance #Superbugs #InfectionControl #ScienceNews #Health20Share
