Superbugs are a general class. Each disease evolves its own resistance (though, it does get around - https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/34/Supplement_3/S78/292951?login=true https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/34/Supplement_3/S78/292... ). You are creating antibiotic resistant strep in your own body. At some point, the antibiotics won't be able to knock it down to the asymptomatic form.
Antibiotic resistance isn't a joke. Take the full course.
- verall 4y agoHow on earth am I creating antibiotic resistant strep in my own body? I do take the full proscribed course of antibiotics. I don't see what that has to do with having to spend at least $150 (consultation + lab test) just to get permission to get the antibiotics I need, which then cost additional money. While big ag gets whatever antibiotics they want. Thank heavens I work in tech and $150 isn't like a whole month's worth of groceries to me. But there's no way to look at this and think "Yup, that's the system working as intended."
- dangwhy 4y agohow would they possibly know what the full course length is for each bug. I've always gotten the same length and dose, how is that the prefect length and dose when the doctor doesn't even know that exact bug that i have. https://www.bmj.com/content/358/bmj.j3418 https://www.bmj.com/content/358/bmj.j3418
