My wife and I make a point not to buy antibiotic soaps or hand cleansers for our home and always ask the doctor if a prescribed antibiotic is truly necessary. We've left doctors before because we felt they overprescribed antibiotics before. We don't mind letting a cold run it's course. Sometimes you're just too sick and an antibiotic makes sense but our society today seems obsessed with them. Just look at the line for your favourite bathrooms and there will be an antibiotic gel there.
