ScrAPES # 3 "Detergent wipes are spreading superbugs through hospitals"

Author:J. D. Heyes    Date: June 16 2015         Here It Is!!



Super bugs have been around for a while now. They are bugs that are immune to some antibiotics thanks to us overusing them and them evolving. Now they are getting into America and are starting to infect people. Because super bugs are able to handle antibiotics they are able to survive getting wiped by the wipes and go into the body to get them sick. Super bugs kill up to 48,000 people per year which is very bad for the future and needs to be solved.

I've heard about super bugs a long time ago and decided I would like to learn about them a bit more. These diseases could become a big problem in the future and could become a huge problem for doctors. With people already dying to normal diseases this could just mean more death so I wanted to know more. Other then scare me that we have these diseases this helped me see how we have overused such important goods and are now paying the price.

Doctors are already thinking of ways to solve this dilemma without much problem. One big way doctors can solve this is if they start using silver and copper as walls and floors. Test have already been made and they have found that they reduce the amount bacteria on them by 97% which is huge. Also they have started making more medicine that these diseases haven't seen yet. It will be possible to combat this and we might be safe.
