Whenever I read something from BBC Future, I know it would be something shocking, and it's no surprise for me. Let's see what the coming years' research will find out.

> Researchers are probing whether use of antibiotics could be a factor. As for microplastic exposure, antibiotic use around the world has risen in recent decades. In particular, the doses of antibiotics consumed by children under the age of five increased from 9.8 per 1,000 people in 2000 to 14.3 in 2018. Overall, the global per-capita consumption of antibiotics grew across all age groups between 2000 and 2015, something which O'Reilly believes is a key cause for concern.

That's an interesting one i hadn't heard of yet. Will give me some extra fodder to  argue with the Dr next time he tries to prescribe antibiotics for a simple cold, without knowing if it's bacterial or viral.
