Under Siege by Bad Bacteria

We are poisoning ourselves, for sure! Oh woe is I…Oh woe is you! Even a single good bacterium is having a hard time staying alive. Read on for my expanded theory.

By now, you’ve heard of how we-all have polluted our water supply and oceans with minute amounts of dumped, down-the-toilet, prescription meds like, for example, psychotic medication. When you drink tap water or bottled water, you may be drinking such goody traces of Methadone, Klonopin, Thorazine, Risperdal, Zolof, Wellbutrin, Lithium and all-the-rest, even aspirin. Well, I think there’s more than that. Much more than that to worry about. Something that has additionally come about recently.

Can you recall the emperors of ancient Roman descent and those towards the end of the line? Like that nut, Nero, who played the fiddle while Rome burned?

Drinking from vessels made of gold //the culprit //the ancient Romans drank to their health //ha!//dressed in sheets with a single, horizontal, purple stripe. And thusly so, they diminished their brains with poison from the gold metal of their drinking cups. They unwittingly poisoned themselves. So, too, we’re doing Hari-kari in a similar, insidious fashion.

This morning I was washing by hand a few cups and plates and used a few drops of a concentrated dish liquid //Antibacterial — with Orange Extract) that I bought from Walgreens. When done, the dishwater went down into the drain, into the sewer, to river, to ocean. And so? And what’s happening?

Like others have pointed out, but not pointed out its massive and dangerous effect — It could very well lead to our demise, to the demise of the human species. I too believe this behavior of ours is building stronger, bad bacteria that mutate in order to resist this antibacterial stuff we use, even from the antibacterial stuff in hard hand/soft body soap. Scientists know this and know that the germs will get stronger and stronger until….

As I have said, I am not the first person to recognize this, nor do I have any solution, but this is something I strongly feel that needs to be examined on a massive scale with multi-vision. Isn’t it the same cause-effect situation as with the ancient Romans’ vessels made of gold that they drank from?

Okay, I have this expanded theory — I don’t think that all marine-life‘s dying problems are caused entirely by industrial pollution. But one can lump those along with our own illnesses that can’t be treated anymore. Pollution has been around for a long time — check out industrial history books. Didn’t marine-life and even algae live fine with it for many decades? Like whales?

//Global warming does cause climate change; but this isn’t the first time the Earth has experienced global warming or global cooling, I should think. And we-all (animal, mineral and vegetable) have adapted repeatedly or we wouldn’t be here now. Right? Right!//how much can global warming, alone, lead to the demise of many species, even the human species? Global warming is the premier culprit, but is it the only culprit?//

So why problems now? Because we have bought this antibacterial kaka and thrown it into our waters where it causes the bad bacteria to wipe out the good bacteria after generational-growths. Right now, the “Mister Joker” bacteria is set to wipe us out! What can stop something like hospital staph infection? What can stop something like…//you name it//?

Again, I’m not saying this is the sole culprit — far from it; I’m saying it’s an important contributing culprit that needs our attention. It requires close examination. Research. This is an enemy that is insidious, so much so, it may be almost impossible to detect and measure.

I wish I had enough training in science to check it out myself. I wish I could even do some graphs on this dish-liquid, antibacterial stuff and then inverse proportion it to the return of defunct diseases, even accomplish all this with that crappie statistical flair of a professional.

But what do I know about Biology? My last contact with Biology was when Jenny put pieces of our dissected frog down my pants inside my briefs in ninth-grade lab. Good Gawk!

  • Hey Cerebril -- So what’s been done when you and others issued dire warnings back in the late ‘90’s? Zilch!

    Can we hinder this approaching menace by voluntarily inhibiting ourselves from using antibacterial soaps? Is more than such soap a culprit here? And who is “we”? Should it not be an “i”? Can I make a difference? Nope, afraid not.

    It is a human fallacy to think the other guy is doing the job, so I can be an exception -- It won’t hurt none; nobody is watching me. I’ll continue to foul the waters!

    Who do we have to fight in this country to hinder the growth and development of super germs, ones -- as Cerebril has pointed out -- feed off of antibiotics. Well, in the U.S. we have to fight legislative lobbyists, whom, I fear, always win. Now that’s a problem in itself.

    Anyhow, what good can one country do? All the countries in the world would have to be enlisted into one to fight this approaching, end-all disaster. To properly stop this, it is necessary to legislate everywhere, like it was done with DDT. Can it be done again?

  • Your article on antibiotic overdose is absolutely correct. I have been saying that we need to find new ways to combat infection since the late 90's. I predicted this nightmare we are about to face. They are now finding bacteria ... jesus this is scary ... on certain food crops that can feed off of antibiotics. No shit. These bacteria can find their way into out GI or respiratory tract. Let me repeat myself, they can feed off of antibiotics!

    Scary is not a strong enough word!
