So antibiotics are mostly all produced in Hyderabad now where all that is alive in the water (with higher antibiotics concentration then a doctor would wish for their patients) close to the factories is multi resistant bacteria.

Manmade horror.

It's Hyderabad that has a famous old stepped well isn't it?
