I had a girl working for me that told me in 2014 that she took antibiotics seven times that year and her daughter six...not to mention that she had four steroid shots at different times throughout the year.
She literally went to the doctor's office every time she or her daughter sneezed or had a sniffle.
I think those antibiotics simply act as placebos for her now since she eats them like candy.
