A well known environmental campaigner in London is anxious to let everyone know about the dangers of a new strain of superbug that has just been discovered.

Nick St Clare of the Eco Tort theatre in Hackney sends the following message:

"The Soil Association claims in a report that a new strain of MRSA, the superbug already common in UK hospitals, has been found in pigs, chicken and other livestock in Europe.
"The bug has also spread to farmers, farm workers and their families, and has been linked to skin, heart and bone infections, blood poisoning and pneumonia in humans."

it's a mycoplasma.

Whatever it is PCR testing will identify if your infected.
