This article would be funny if it wasn't so scary. People who should know better making misleading statements. MRSA/ORSA is not caused by using Methicillin so stating "it isn't being used" makes something safe is irresponsible.
"I want to talk about bacteria," Mueller said. "Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), it's real and it will kill you and you should be nervous about it, and it doesn't come from pigs. We don't use methicillin on pigs anywhere. So, if you are worried about that, study the science. Manure goes into a pit. There is no oxygen there. Staphylococcus doesn't live there. In fact, almost nothing lives there but anaerobes."
