Resistance to antibiotics or fighting off the urge to use them can actually be very dangerous for us.
What are Antibiotics?
Antibiotics
are special prescriptions which are used to take care of bacterial infections.
They help your body go at war with harmful bacteria or parasite reproduction and
win, by either wiping them completely or discontinuing them from reproducing at
all. After which your body’s immune system can easily battle them without
difficulty. However, Antibiotics don’t
help when infections are in turn caused by viruses - for instance, flu or the
common cold. They are typically only given for more dangerous bacterial
infections like Pneumonia.
Why Resistance is a Real Danger
Antibiotic
resistance happens when bacteria alter themselves to become dead set against the
effects of antibiotics and consequently they lose their skill to kill or manage
the growth of bacteria. This is a
natural incident yet is pretenses great danger. Occasionally, use to the excess
or the under-use of antibiotics leads to their own resistance. The high demonstration
of self medication, particularly in developing nations, is a major cause of
this. By means of using them, at times when you don’t really need
them, might generate the risk that when you really do, they will not be able to
restore you to health after the illness.
This puts a
sad shadow over the incredible development of medication and their curative
powers right through the years. If you get a bacterial contamination from someone
else who has been infected by an antibiotic-resistant tension, you too may now
carry a virus that won’t react to antibiotics. With no use of powerful
antibiotics present to destroy these bacteria, your health is in serious danger
as this may lead to life intimidating complications.
You may therefore
be pretentious to the bacterial infection for a longer period of time as
doctors try to set down and prescribe to you second and third line drugs which
may be much more expensive i.e. double or triple the price of the original
antibiotic drug. The complications may also add to the problem and make it further
difficult to treat. Furthermore, you could stay infectious for longer period of
time, and transfer your infection to others around you as it is contagious.
This may make worse the situation and make more trouble on healthcare capital
all the more problematic.
