A superbug to which children are particularly vulnerable is spreading in Britain and specialists say the government is failing to take action to stop it.
A Sunday Times investigation has found at least 10 youngsters aged between six and 13 have been left fighting for their lives after contracting the infection. Doctors are concerned because they appear to have caught the bug in playgrounds and parks.
The children were all hit by Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), a toxin that combines with MRSA, the bacteria that cause thousands of infections, sometimes lethal, in hospitals.

Where does all this shit come from? Is it being transmitted from the Hospitals?

I wasn't. I was born at 110 kilo, with hair down to my belt and a beard similar, an I.Q of 150-160, and a bottle of beer in my hand.

The OTHER was on the floor, I needed ONE hand to open the bottle....with my TEETH!

Could this be the result of NOT finishing anti-biotics when prescribed them ?

Must be the Germanic influence.
