    If you are promoting antibiotic resistant bacteria in your body, is that not self harm? I sure think it is.

    Not all self harm is cutting, starving, or suicide.

      The reason why a pharmacists would care is more the fact that once the resistant bacteria gets out of your body and into the world it reduces the effectiveness of antibiotics for every human.

      The push to get people to finish their courses of antibiotics is done to keep antibiotics effective for everyone.

        Yeah. So we agree that she’s threatening self harm (minimum) to solicit a response from someone. Emotional manipulation.

        I’m glad we managed to argue our way to what we already concluded from the start.

            As far as I’m concerned, “threatening” to use your own body in an attempt to raise antibiotic resistant bacteria, is self harm.

            You don’t have to agree. That’s fine.

              Ok and as far I’m concerned it’s not. You don’t have to agree, that’s fine.

              You get that this is a joke posted on science memes right? This isn’t a real situation.
