Antibiotic Resistance and Antimicrobial Resistance » (CDC). “10,000 to 20,000 physician-diagnosed pesticide poisonings occur each year among America's 2 million agricultural workers” (EPA). In North Carolina alone, there are more than 2,000 cases of pesticide poisoning each year because it is a major agricultural state that uses significant amounts of pesticides. Pesticide use is regulated by federal and state law, in which the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services regulates pesticide products and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services regulates pesticide products. North Carolina is working to address public health concerns and surveillance (PEV). Antimicrobial resistance, an infection derived from resistance in bacteria, poses another serious health threat that could lead to extremely difficult-to-treat diseases when an organism comes into contact with it. Antibiotic-resistant infections arise from germs in contaminated food or water that are resistant due to the increasing use and consumption of antibiotics. Antibiotics are medications that stop the growth of bacteria and kill them to prevent disease. They are used by farms and industries to help animals improve their growth and feed efficiency (FDA). Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to resist the effects of the antibiotic that causes it. do not kill them or stop their growth, which leads to many incurable diseases. Consumption of antibiotics destroys multiple strains of various bacteria in the body, killing the weakest organisms first, whether harmful or not. The bacteria that survive are usually those that resist... middle of paper ... and that live in the intestines of animals and humans are mostly harmless; however, a type called E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly strain that can cause kidney failure, high blood pressure, or paralysis when large amounts are detected when consuming contaminated food or water. “In 1999, about 73,000 people in the United States became ill from E. coli each year and about 60 died from it.” New laws have been passed by the FDA to prevent food contamination, such as keeping meat safer during slaughter and keeping vegetables safer. when cultivated (CDC). Another common foodborne bacteria is salmonella, which is commonly found in chicken, eggs, and other animal foods. With the increasing number of outbreaks due to food contamination, government agencies and food industries are developing programs and passing new laws in response to concerns (“Food”).
