trivia tuesday

trivia tuesday at the whimsey project! our day to share all manner of trivia; factual and experiential. share your trivia!

my trivia is both factual and experiential. yesterday i visited the doctor and this is what i learned:
did you know that the antibiotics your doctor prescribes for your illness in only 80% effective? according to my doctor (who is also a trained pharmacist) an antibiotic will knock out about 80% of the bad stuff making you sick. the remaining 20% lingers in your system and easily brings on a recurrence of the illness you were previously treated for.  result? back to the doctor for another round of medication.  a heavy sigh, that is!

    1. could be. perhaps most make it just fine on 80%. some others, not so much.
