Think Viral, Not Antimicrobial

Their noses are red

And their throats hurt too

90% of all colds are viral

Don’t prescribe antimicrobials boo!

Author's Notes/Comments:

Please don't take antibiotics/antimicrobials if you have a viral infection. They will not ease your symptoms, kill beneficial bacteria, and increase the chance of antimicrobial resistance, which is now directly and indirectly responsible for killing more people per year than cancers!
