Super Bugs
Bacteria and pests are becoming more resistant to antibiotics and pesticides, turning into "Super Bugs."
Years ago, with the introduction of antibiotics, scientists believed that medicine could completely wipe out infectious diseases. However, bacteria began mutating in order to resist the effects of drugs. We now are witnessing a rebirth of diseases, such as tuberculosis, that were once thought to have disappeared forever. In addition, it seems that humans have created an artificial selection by forcing pests such as slugs to evolve in order to resist the pesticides meant to kill them.
