Would you prefer to live in a world without antibiotics?

[–] Psythik 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

No but people should really stop abusing OTC antibiotics like Neosporin. You don't have to put it on every wound.

Yes but there's no reason to snark about a new class of antibiotics unless you think they shouldn't be used at all.

I tend to have wounds scab into the dressing which sucks because it rips out when you change it. Which is why I got vitamin E gel for those times I don't need an antibiotics. The capsules are also more convenient to carry around than a tube and take virtually no space in a bag/kit.
