    FDA recalls MORE eyedrops over infection risk - and reveals
    they're made at an Indian factory where workers are BAREFOOT
    and tamper with test results

    The FDA has named an Indian facility as the factory producing
    tainted eye drops

    The agency saw workers walking around barefoot and tampering
    with results

    Most concerningly, the bacteria identified was drug-resistant
    bug pseudomonas aeruginosa.

    Specific facility in question: Kilitch Healthcare India Limited

    . . .

    Hey, I got a PA infection in a wound as a kiddie, it
    was a BITCH to get rid of even then. NOW it's immune
    to almost all drugs.

    Clue : greenish pus = PA. Go to the emergency room
    like RIGHT NOW.

    As for these foreign pharma manufacturers. Well, you
    get what you pay for. Brand-X whatever, you NEVER know
    how it was made. Sterile conditions, adherence to
    testing - FORGET THAT.

    Hmm ... saw a commercial for "generic Viagra" a few
    minutes ago. Probably has SOME of the active ingredient
    in it ... and who knows WHAT other industrial waste
    products ......

    And the Indian factory ... it WILL fire some of its
    workers, and then hire their cousins. Nothing will
    change. You can buy a Russian-made car too, but note
    that the idea of "quality control" does NOT seem to
    be part of the Russian lexicon.
