Antibiotic Allergy and Eating HealthyAntibiotic allergy can get it's start from food. Let me explain... Antibiotics are a medicine to kill bacteria. They are used to treat illness in humans and animals. These medicines should not be in the food you eat. Why not, you say? Wouldn't I be healthier with a little medicine? No. This is a medicine that was not prescribed for you. It was prescribed by a vet for an animal. The medicine has gotten into the tissues of the animal or the milk and then you consumed it. With this, you are getting exposure to medicines that you and your doctor do not control. This is how a person can have a allergic reaction from penicillin the very first time he received it. To have an allergic reaction, one must have exposure first. Then following the exposure, the body creates a defense against the possible enemy. So the doctor checks the person's records and finds he has never received penicillins. Or has he? One could have unwittingly received them in the milk or tissues of animals. This uncontrolled exposure to penicillins can contribute to the resistant strains of bacteria. An ever increasing problem in North America. So what can you do? By putting the word out of what you are willing to purchase, you will have more control. As a consumer, there is no more important person to the producer.
