Super bugs don’t respond to regular prescriptions of medicinal antibiotics- in fact they’re resistant to them.
While our methods for killing off unwanted bacteria in our bodies developed, their methods for fighting back grew stronger.
Many people are now turning to natural antibiotics to fight milder infections and to limit the strength of antibiotic-resistant bugs.
“It is not difficult to make microbes resistant to penicillin in the laboratory by exposing them to concentrations not sufficient to kill them,” warned Alexander Fleming, the creator of the first antibiotic, penicillin, back in 1945 when he received his Nobel Prize for medicine. “There is the danger that the ignorant man may easily underdose himself and by exposing his microbes to non-lethal quantities of the drug make them resistant.”
And while bacteria have been a part of “life” on Earth for humans since the dawn of time, constant exposure to antibiotics — which kill even “good” bacteria — is responsible for the rise of superbugs that are resistant to an increasing number antibiotic drugs.
