Missing Microbes

.

This is an interesting and scary book.  We have to stop handing out antibiotics like they are candy on Halloween!  There is clear and compelling evidence that antibiotics are seriously messing us up, and we don't even know in how many ways, at this point.

Nothing I read in this book is contradictory to what I learned in Human Microbiome class last fall.





A little knowledge is very dangerous, but that never seems to stop us humans from rushing ahead to change things around, as soon as we are able to do so.

So many of the things we are messing up have catastrophic potential.........

I recommend this book.
