Are Antibiotics Bad?
The masterpieces of British masters are popular in more than a dozen countries around the world, and the British style of playfulness has subverted "100,000 Whys", cultivated creativity, and allowed children to start to understand science from their side. Imagine what would happen to life if the things we were used to suddenly disappeared. Such as toilets, mobile phones, clean water. What if the things we hate suddenly disappeared? Such as fire, bacteria, weather. Don't underestimate them, in fact, their existence plays an irreplaceable role.
The science around you is fun
- A hundred years ago, you certainly didn't want to have unpleasant wounds or diseases. Of course, you don't want to have it, but at least there are medicines (called antibiotics) to help you recover. If you have appendicitis, or have a broken leg, or even a deep wound on your body, you probably won't die from it. However, if you have a large amount of bacteria pouring into the wound from the air and surroundings after your injury, it is difficult to say. Many bacteria like to stay in the wound, and many diseases that people get are also caused by bacteria, which are the ones we usually breathe or eat into the body. Although the bacteria are extremely tiny, they will continue to multiply, eventually occupying an advantage in your body, making you weak and even taking your life. Antibiotics can kill bacteria. So, as you read on, think about it: Are you willing to live a life without antibiotics?
