    The only reason antibiotic resistant germs are different than regular germs is that antibiotics don’t work on them, which doesn’t matter if you don’t use antibiotics! 😆

    Her reasons are more vague and appeal-to-nature-y. But you do raise a good point.

      What? Where do you think antibiotic-resistant bacteria come from?

        No I think they mean that germs are germs, if you don’t use antibiotics, they make you sick either way.

        Resistant bacteria are only a concern of people wiling to take antibiotics, as those are the only ones the antibiotics don’t work on.
