Relatable. I love a girl like this. It's exhausting and it's slowly impacted my own sanity, but it's not her fault. It's mainly about germs with her. She gets really upset if we don't wash our hands every 15 minutes or so. But at the same time, she's afraid of antibiotics.
I mean the incorrect/over use of antibiotics leads to antibiotic resistant germs which are basically super germs. Strangely logical.
Sorry to hear it's impacting you though. It's tough when someone you're with is dealing with mental health issues.
The only reason antibiotic resistant germs are different than regular germs is that antibiotics don't work on them, which doesn't matter if you don't use antibiotics! 😆
Her reasons are more vague and appeal-to-nature-y. But you do raise a good point.
What? Where do you think antibiotic-resistant bacteria come from?
No I think they mean that germs are germs, if you don’t use antibiotics, they make you sick either way.
Resistant bacteria are only a concern of people wiling to take antibiotics, as those are the only ones the antibiotics don’t work on.
