Answers to your seven most pressing questions about poop
4. Does poop play a role in antibiotic resistance?
Unfortunately, it does. As you know, antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to the health of humankind. And poop is part of the reason antibiotic-resistant bacteria is spreading.
When you flush your poop down the toilet, it ends up in a sewage treatment plant where it’s treated and eventually released back into the environment. Even though a lot of the bad stuff is removed from this recycled water, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistance genes hang around. They end up back in our environment, where they continue to evolve, grow and contribute the biggest health crisis of our time.
