Missing Microbes: How the Overuse of Antibiotics is Fueling Our Modern Plagues

Author: Martin Blaser
Stars: 4
Review by: libraryaimee

An eye opening expose on America's overuse of antibiotics.  The author veers a little to the hysterical, speculative side, but he raises very interesting concerns and evidence.  Especially disturbing is our use of antibiotics to fatten up farm animals...not to prevent disease in them!
