*Threat, not thread, sorry.

Anyways the Ontario Medical Association is calling for federal governments to try and curb antibiotic resistance before it becomes too big of a problem, and antibiotic resistance IS becoming a problem.

Drug-resistant tuberculosis is becoming a huge problem in eastern Europe and could spread into Asia and the rest of Europe and tuberculosis is already endemic in southeast/south Asian nations such as India and Burma which could also exacerbate the issue of drug-resistant tuberculosis strains.

There's also NDM-1, a bacteria strain which is resistant to 15 differtent antibiotics which have been found in puddles in New Delhi, India and New Delhi's water supply.

Anyways, if your doctor prescribes antibiotics follow the damned directions and complete the prescribed dosage dammit.

There's too many idiots who already neglect antibiotic directions and think "Oh I feel better now I think I'll just stop taking my antibiotics." or "I think I'll save the other half of these antibiotics for the next time I get sick."

Also, if you get a fever, wait three days, if your fever is gone in three days or if your condition improves drastically then it means you have a viral infection which doesn't need antibiotics. Or go to the doctor but he/she might just tell you the same thing I just said.

Any thoughts?

I think antiseptics such as dettol can also be dangerous when used to clean up germs, they say they kill 99.9% of germs, so that 0.01% is resistant, so if the same antiseptic gets used often enough germs build resistance.

That's why autoimmune illnesses are becoming more prevalent in wealthy nations. Everybody in America, England, Canada, France, etc. uses antibacterial antiseptics to clean their stuff. And because of this our parents at the peak of their fitness have better immune systems than our generation despite the improvement in medical science.
