Very true, one of my mates takes antibiotics everytime he got even a bit of fever. Ridiculous.

Or in the words of Dr. House, which in this case are absolutely true in reality as well: "This is our fault. doctors overprescribing antibiotics. Got a cold? Take some penicillin. Sniffles? No problem. Have some azithromyzin. Is that not working anymore? Well, got your levaquin. Anti-bacterial soaps in every bathroom. They' ll be adding vancomycin to the water supply soon. We bred these superbugs. They are our babies and they are all grown up, and they got body piercings and a lot of anger."

Which reminds me; have to continue watching the rest of House I haven't seen yet, currently going over Life on Mars, prolly Ashes to Ashes after that, gotta love Gene Hunt.
