Let's have a word about antibiotics here..............Great stuff but over the years they have become so misused as to be far less effective and newer bacterial strains have come along that are resistant to many. One of them ain't real pleasant and you already have it in you!!!!

Got this bacterai we'll call C-Dif..........C-Dif is one of the many naturally occuring bacterias in your colon and its very resistant to antibiotics. See, when you take antibiotics they kill off all sorts of bacteria in your bowels and sometimes so many "good" bacteria that you're left with a whole lot of C-dif...a bad bacteria that will give you the shits like you never had 'em before resulting in serious dehydration and will also eat away at the lining of your colon making it bleed and eventually perforating it. Result=peritoneal infections and death. Ol' C-Dif is real friggin' serious.

And of course the only thing that kills it is..........a very specific antibiotic. C-Dif is on the rise as a result of antibiotic mis use. Do yourself a favor. Eat shitloads of yogurt or go buy some "pro-biotics" which are pill form bacteria to replace the ones the antibiotics are killing and this has been shown to be effective somewhat. Its a damn good idea in any case.

Happy sickness Bobertz!
