the sad thing is they teach you these things in beginning biology class in middle school. bacteria and diseases can mutate much like any other living organism to survive.Originally Posted by milestailsprowe
OK One bump
Due to OVER USE of Antibiotics we have caused the traits in bacteria that lead to drug resistance to stand out. Instead of dying out the ones who are resistant breed and took over.
Main Causes
People who demand antibiotics from doctors and use them for every sniffle even the ones
People who hold pills for years
CONSTANT antibacterial soap users
Farmers who put antibiotics in EVERYTHING
Side issues
People put so much money into weight lost and breast cancer research and so little into bacterial research. The lack of funds can mean it will take much longer for cures/treatments to come out.
If anything medicine will have to take a WHOLE NEW approach if we come over this
