This has been said ad nauseam, but bacterial infections are going to become a huge concern.<p>Viruses are baddies because their treatment is largely more specific, often just treatment rather than cure, and they are more resilient. Broad spectrum antibiotics kept bactieral infections from being the same. Bacterial resistance is pushing bacterial infections into the same category.

The stuff is branded ezricare, sold on Amazon, and made by a company called Global Pharma Healthcare Private Limited.<p>Are they just companies I don&#x27;t happen to know because I&#x27;m dumb, or anyone can just set up his lab to sell medicine on Amazon?<p>How is the supply chain monitored for drugs ?

Speculation:did the bacteria find nutrients in the product that allowed it to multiply?<p>As a prescription eye drop user for over a decade, this scares me.

Wow. Don&#x27;t they pasteurize this stuff?
