This is an excellent article capturing that more is not better. Featured in the Huffington Post “Stop Killing the Good Guys! Protect Your Child’s Microbiome From Antibiotic Overuse”.
The full article is a must read but here area few highlights I took away:
1. By the time a U.S. Child reaches 18 years old they will have been prescribed between 10 and 20 rounds of antibiotics.
2. Over 2 million Americans acquire infections that are resistant to antibiotics.
3. Encourage your children to play in the dirt and benefit from the natural flora. Yep that old adage “god made dirt and dirt won’t hurt” bears truth.
4. Antibiotic soap contributes to antibiotic resistance. Ouch!
