[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 142217, member: 3647"] I really hope that Grandma gets the point. Antibiotics are given out so readily, it won't be long before our bodies are immune. That really scares the bejeebers out of me. I go out of my way to [I]not [/I]buy antibacterial soaps or cleaners for that reason. If it means I have to clean more often, so be it. I have thrown out antibiotic scripts for "bugs" that I have been able to get rid of on my own, and that goes for Tink as well. I only fill them if it is a true bacterial infection. I took it a couple months ago when I had pneumonia. Before that, I can't tell you the last time I took an antibiotic. I may be catastrophizing, but it [I]really [/I]scares me. My mom gets an antibiotic at least every other month for a sinus infection. They don't even work anymore. She won't listen to me when I tell her that her body has become immune. She insists that she needs a stronger dose, or it is a really bad infection. And she keeps on taking it. Look at staph infections. A friend of mine went to the hospital with a little cut on his finger, to visit his mom. He ended up in the hospital for 2 months with a staph infection that he could not get rid of! OK, I'm done. :soapbox: (lol) [/QUOTE]
