Kenneth Speaker is right:  using antibiotics tends to create resistent
strains of bacteria which can then infect anyone.  A year or two ago
there was a proposal to allow licensed pharmacists to prescribe anti-
biotics; that may have had some merit.  A real problem with the controls
on the use of antibiotics is that they don't apply to animals.
