Sure, antibiotic-resistant infections are overblown...until you or someone you know gets one, then all of a sudden you're like oh dang...I guess it isn't all internet hype. My first wife's brother was 38 when he died a few months ago, went into the hospital with a bad cold. They knocked it back, he went home, back in the hospital a couple days later with a different infection, one he picked up while in the hospital. Three days later he was dead. From a cold...

Misuse of antibiotics is what gets you...stopping the course before you take all of them, just because you feel "better''.  If you did have a slight infection, you could have more than likely gotten rid of it with a course of fresh garlic and vinegar...

I use drugs the way I see fit. To each his own.

I'm betting on Placebo effect.  "lung infection"  :roll:

Antibiotics do not work on viruses.  How do you know your "lung infection" was bacterial and not viral?  Colds and flu are viral.

What's wrong with a nice big fat placebo?
