The Guardian reports that according to a Bureau of Investigative Journalism study, colistin, an "antibiotic of last resort," is used by the tonnes by Indian farms to make the poultry gain weight a little bit faster. And all of this is perfectly legal. The World Health Organization (WHO) calls antibiotic resistance "a major threat to public health".
Another reason to eat less meat I guess. Like we needed one.

You could even have used antibiotics but presumably less (not sure) if you simply put on antibiotic ointment on it for 3 days once a day and kept it wrapped in some bandage.

I doubt that it even needed that. She was young and healthy and it was a clean cut. Just needed to keep a close eye on it and if needed, then apply the antibiotics.
