Antibiotics by Ramanan Laxminarayan
I have watched this ted talk of Ramanan Laxminarayan which is about antibiotics. On this video he explains the importance of antibiotic treatments, but he also tries to warn us about the consequences of misusing them. If we don’t reduce our antibiotic consume, the bacteria will become more and more resistant. As a result, the treatment won’t be effective and we will be forced to invest more money in new antibiotic researches. He says we take too many antibiotics because we use them in a wrong way. Not all the diseases are caused by bacteria, therefore not all the illnesses have to be treated with antibiotics. For example, we need an antivirus to fight against the flu, not an antibiotic. That’s a thing that many people don’t know. The solution in this case is easy, it’s education. I think it’s important to teach this kind of things to prevent wrong treatments.
