There are alternatives to using antibiotics willy-nilly for everything. Some of the research I have read suggests that one's own body chemistry plays a part in how anti-biotic resistant a bug is and that anti-biotic resistance can be reversed by addressing that end of things. Too bad that isn't making equally big headlines.<p>(I have the urge to quote a song about news being all about "dirty laundry" but I can't quite remember the lyrics.)
