E.coli cucumber scare: Germany seeks source of outbreak

There is dispute over Spanish imports being the source of the outbreak. Spanish authorities have shut down several farms in Almeria for examination. Transport was claimed by the Spanish to be the open gate for intoxication when the goods fell of a truck, but that theory has been ripped apart and shreddered by German experts.

Far more than 1000 people so far have become ill in Germany, the infection spreading throught all neighbouring countries, and all of Europe. The UN says it is one of the worst outbreaks of E-coli in medical history.

Many people are in intensive medical treatement, fighting for their lives. Ten or eleven have already died. Antibiotics are of reduced effectiveness or are not effective at all. That is becasue the bacterias has become incredibly immune to antibiotics, which now can be foun d even on the roots of planted begetables. That is our own fault, and the deeds of our past will haunt us - since we gave antibiotics for everyx flu and ever yharmless nothingness of a symptom.

The current outbreak is accompanied by a medical complication called HUS, which is a potentially life-endangering problem for the liver.

The farming lobby in Germany wants to sue the Robert-Koch-Institut (which leads the medical research) - for having warned the German public!

Change of trend:
