PSA: antibiotic resistance is real

[anotheranon]

Yes, the gubmint lies about some things, but not this. Discussion about the importance of public education about antibiotic resistance, some stats on overuse of antibiotics in clinical and agricultural contexts, and links to other antibiotic resistance sites. I'm hoping my friend L., who recently got her masters' in public health, will weigh in on this subject as I know she knows more than me :)

So - wash your hands, y'all. And if your doc tries to give you an antibiotic when you've got a viral infection, ask why!
