🦠 The Detrimental Effects of Constant Use of Antibiotics in Our Society

Antibiotics have saved countless lives , but their misuse is quietly creating a ticking time bomb.

🔍 Here’s what’s happening:

Bacteria are learning to resist our drugs.

“Common” infections are becoming harder and sometimes impossible to treat.

Overuse destroys beneficial bacteria in our bodies, affecting immunity and digestion.

💊 The reality: Many people take antibiotics for viral infections like colds or flu , where they don’t work at all. Others don’t finish their prescriptions, giving bacteria a perfect chance to adapt.

📢 Let’s talk:

Have you ever been prescribed antibiotics unnecessarily?

Do you think drug resistance will be our next public health crisis?

How can we educate communities about proper antibiotic use?

💬 Share your thoughts — and let’s spread awareness before resistance spreads faster.
