Why not eating antibiotics can prevent Tuberculosis

As we are nearing the World Tuberculosis day, we indians find ourselves in a helpless situation. Recently UN declared india as one of high burden TB nation. In India 750 persons die every day due to Tuberculosis. And this is bound to increase with india’s population constantly growing and healthcare facilties less equipped to care them. But the reason people are suffering for tuberculosis is not because the bacteria strain has become an epidemic, its because of themselves. Its because of excessive antibiotics one is taking to cure normal things like fever and cold. All the people from different parts our country consume so many antibiotics and that makes their immunity system so weak that every single bacteria gets contracted to their body easily. At the drop of a coin we consume antibiotics without thinking as how it could transform into a death knell for us. At the end of the day no drug can save your life. It is the immunity system that fights all kind of bacteria and helps us stay away from diseases. Today the situation is so bleak that once you contracting the TB disease, even a drug that cures TB is not working right now. The drug which was once was a definite cure now finds itself struggling to contain bacteria. With the situation arising where people’s immunity system is getting weakened day by day, scientists also keep trying to match the pace in creating drugs that are more powerful. Even that drugs are getting ineffective day by day. All this things can be superseded by one thing. And that is, not eating antibiotic. If one does not consume antibiotics, their body’s immunity system stays strong and is ready to fight any bacteria in present and in future. One can consume antibiotics, but only if it is necessary. For example if one is suffering from fever, one can try to withhold or consume paracetamol or crocin. Just popping an antibiotic for a mere fever is just doing no good to you. We should also keep in mind that we are indirectly consuming antibiotics even without consuming ourselves. Almost all the people in the world are non vegetarians. Chicken is one of the most consumed non veg food. Do we know that Chicken is forcibly grown by injecting antibiotics. So that means we are consuming antibiotics indirectly and that is also hurting our immunity system.
