A scathing new report on the cover of BloombergBusinessweek-- one of the most widely circulated business publications in the United States with close to 1 million readers -- claims huge volumes of antibiotics are being used in farmed shrimp, and says the prevalence may pose a threat to human health.
“People eating their shrimp cocktails and paella may be getting more than they bargained for,” Martin Blaser, a professor of microbiology and an infectious diseases physician at New York University Langone Medical Center who chairs President Barack Obama’s advisory panel for combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria, told Bloomberg.
