Turning a new page on anti biotics.

Antibiotics have been misudes and managed for too long, causing a crisis recently adressed at a conference in Sweeden. The conference was held at Uppsala University, with 190 people from 45 countries atending it. The issue at hand was simple, what wil happen when we become immune to antibiotics? The tolerance people are able to build up to them is troubling, and theatens to cuase simple infections to again become deadly like in the middle ages. It was agrreed that new steps need to be taken to better handle the situation involving the anti biotics and their misuse.
I believe that this is a very good thing, and should have been discussed earlier actually. If we begin to build yup a tolerance to these treatments, it could mean multiple catastrophies, if it gets to an extreme point that is. I don't think its nearly even close to that point yet, but it is beginning to be an unsettling problem, and it's comforting that it's being adresse before it gets to that extreme. I like that they hve decided to take the first steps to act on limiting the opportunity to misuse antibiotics.
