The West Fork, Cement Creek and Matson Creek fires are burning through some of the finest caribou grazing lands in the state. The herds feed on forest-floor vegetation called "caribou moss," which takes between 100 and 150 years to grow...
...have proved resistant to sulfadiazine and 21% to tetracycline; at Children's Hospital Medical Center in Boston, no fewer than 65% of the E. coli and 92% of Proteus vulgaris resisted at least one important drug.

This procedure may well produce animal bacteria that transmit drug resistance to bacteria that infect humans; indeed, such new strains may be resistant to all penicillins and tetracyclines...
Though fascinated, other experts calmly argue that laboratories are producing new antibiotics too fast for germs to catch up. Moreover, they suggest a preventive for the animal-to-man transfer problem-feed livestock different antibiotics from those given to humans. There are plenty of other drugs suitable for hogs, steers and chickens...

Blood samples taken in the summer have proved negative. In late spring and summer, the mosquitoes feed largely on birds, especially helpless nestlings...
