Antibiotics overuse leading to exponential rise in 'super bugs' finds study

According to scientists from the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics and Policy (CDDEP), Princeton University, ETH Zurich and the University of Antwerp in Belgium, overuse of antibiotics has led to a situation that super bugs or bugs that are resistant to most antibiotics are on an exponential rise. These microbes are typically not responsive to the antibiotics that they were initially responsive to.

Rubber ducks can be full of nasty bugs at bath time

Researchers have found that the cute little rubber ducks that float around in bath tubs and come in contact with potable water are homes to millions of bacteria and harmful microbes. They found that these toys contain water that’s seeped into them and when squeezed, they release this dirty water into the bath water. The water is rich in microbes that could be potentially “pathogenic” or disease causing especially among children, they write.
