Nightmare Bacteria Outbreak In Illinois

Revelation 6:7,8 NCV When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, "Come!"8 I looked, and there before me was a pale horse. Its rider was named death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill people by war, by starvation, by disease, and by the wild animals of the earth.

The Centers for Disease Control is focusing on a hospital in the Chicago suburbs were an outbreak of a deadly bacteria seems to be spreading.

The bacterium, called a “nightmare bacteria” by doctors, contains a special rare enzyme that allows it to break down antibiotics.

The bacteria is known as carbapenem-resistant enterobacteriaceae.  The superbug lives in the intestines and can be spread by fecal matter.

The CDC reports they have only been able to document 97 cases of infection by the bacteria since 2009…but 44 have been connected over the last year to this one Chicago area hospital.

Officials say that as many as 250 patients were potentially exposed to the bacteria during an endoscopy procedure.  Only 114 of the patients returned to be tested for the disease.

  1. I do believe we are in end-times. Also could not help but notice about the endoscopy connection as it clearly shows that scrupulous health practices; which are needed more than ever,now , are clearly absent.

    It would be wise to insist on seeing new endoscopy tubes and watch them autoclave (probably wrong spelling though right procedure) the connector parts and spray down the place with silver sol for good measure. Hospitals have taken the love profit over the Hepatic Oaths. HMM!

    Take Care and may God watch over the unsuspecting public about the heath risks following visits to the hospital.
