    The same kind that can cause infections and death.

    The news media picks on on stuff and freaks out all the time.

    Drug resistant bacteria is our fault. And the doctors fault.

    Every time we go to our doctor and beg for an antibiotic for the common cold or virus and he gives us one to shut us up, we and the doctor cause some of those problems.

    Every time we are on an antibiotic and don't finish the prescription, we cause some of those problems.

    When we over use antibacterial hand washes and sanitizers, we are compounding the problem by exposing bacteria to just enough antibacterial ingredients to make them stronger and us weaker.
