World Antibiotics Awareness Week
Act with awareness when handling antibiotics. Studies show about 80% of all antibiotics end up in animal diets destined for the dinner table. Unfortunately, this practice leads to the spread of antibiotic resistance through meat consumption. The irresponsible disposal practice of antibiotics has not only contaminated our food but have equally infected our water & soil. Antibiotic pollution is a threat to human health and our environment. Over two million people die each year due to antibiotic resistance, and that number could increase to 10 million by 2050 if nothing is done now.
