    I mean the incorrect/over use of antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistant germs which are basically super germs. Strangely logical.

    Sorry to hear it’s impacting you though. It’s tough when someone you’re with is dealing with mental health issues.

      The only reason antibiotic resistant germs are different than regular germs is that antibiotics don’t work on them, which doesn’t matter if you don’t use antibiotics! 😆

      Her reasons are more vague and appeal-to-nature-y. But you do raise a good point.

        What? Where do you think antibiotic-resistant bacteria come from?
