It is my view that it takes an ill-informed fool to claim that he or she is resistant to penicillin. Even a child of average intelligence can understand the difference between the antibiotic resistance of an organism and a person's allergy to penicillin.

Of course but only after it has been explained to them.

@Jolanta Which underscores the importance of having a good system education in every school in the world.

Are we talking about allergy or resistance? They are two different things. Or am I below average intelligence?

@Storm1752 The article talks about people claiming to be resistant to penicillin, not allergic to penicillin. You are not in my opinion of below average intelligence.

Do people really need to have this explained to them ? What has happen to the basic education system and the information media ?

You do not live in the United $tates of Absurdity. This might underpin the answers to both your questions.

You know the Kardashians and their ilk have taken over.

I think so, at least certain strains. It's alarming how the question then becomes: will something come along to which they CAN'T come up with a response, and it spreads unresisted?

You mean, like MRSA?

Apparently they are trying some new stuff that is working so far.
