Red worms or manure worms can grow to about 5-7 centimetres (3 inches) long and will eat their own weight in garbage every 24 hours. When worms are used in composting it is called vermicomposting.
Food cited in drug-immune bacteria
Food cited in drug-immune bacteria Bacteria that have become resistant to antibiotics
and other drugs are a growing threat to public health. A report by
the BC provincial health officer suggests that the overuse of
antibiotics in food production is leading to more drug-resistant
diseases. The report urges monitoring of drug use in both human and
non-human settings in order to detect new 'superbugs.' Many
antibiotics are used to treat sick animals and to promote growth in
livestock and poultry, and there is evidence that "resistance can
be transmitted to humans through the consumption of meat from
animals or other foods that have acquired resistant
organisms." FEBRUARY 5, 2001
