The inadvertant promotion of antibiotic resistance..

"Hey Lan, want a lolly?"
"Uhh what flavour?"
"Here you read."
"Mybacin lozenges (Mint)? Each lozenge contains-
Neomycin Sulphate?! Bacitracin?! Amylocaine Hydrochloric Acid?!"
"Yer they're yummy!"
"These aren't to suck on for fun- they contain antibiotics!"
"What are they?"
"Things that kill bacteria"
"Isn't that good?"
"Not when you're not actually sick. Ah never mind. Give them to me."
"Nah I'll keep it thanks."


Antibiotic resistance 1

Side note
The indications were: Vincent's Angina, tonsillitis, gingivitis, seasonal mouth and throat infections, treatment of germ carriers (what?).


Miracle lolly.
