    America has <5% of the world's population and uses 50% of the world's antibiotics. I wonder how other countries avoid infections!

      Isn't that because of the factory farming?

        Largely that, but partly because our doctors make it rain prescriptions. See @crunkfresh's reply ITT.

        It's not a mystery how American hospitals are where most of these drug-resistant "superbugs" are coming from.
