[QUOTE=UkiEater;2684974]Taking an antibiotic also kills the friendly bacteria in your body that keeps your body healthy. No sense take the antibiotic when you don't have any infection because you're doing damage to other areas of your body.[/QUOTE]+1. This. And yes, there are plenty of overseas pharmacies where you can get all sorts of things without a prescription. Just expect 14-21 days for shipping and customs.

[QUOTE=Dogdoy;2685064]Better to take probiotics than antibiotics.[/QUOTE]Probiotics cannot do the work antibiotics do. I'm not an advocate for pharmaceutical drugs, but in an emergency I will take antibiotics. However, it's really important to take a good probiotic at the same time one is taking antibiotics, to replace the beneficial intestinal bacteria which the antibiotic is likely to destroy.

[QUOTE=UkiEater;2685171]Yogurt is one food you can eat to help replenish the friendly bacteria in your body.[/QUOTE]Yup, make sure the label says it "contains live and active cultures". Otherwise the concentration may be too low to be beneficial.
That's when you're well. During antibiotic therapy, yogurt can interfere with certain antibiotics. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about any dietary restrictions during treatment, or carefully read the documentation that comes with the drug. Usually this documentation contains a phrase to the effect of, "Doctor has prescribed this medication because he/she has judged that the benefit outweighs any risks".

[QUOTE=Member#2322;2685338]Probiotics make my ass hole itch when I take a shit. Just saying.[/QUOTE]Never tried them. The culture names sound made-up. I stick with foods.
[QUOTE=LuvBigRax;2684893]I've read that you don't want to do this too often or the bacteria will develop resistance. Can someone chime in on how often we can do this?[/QUOTE]Partially true. Overusage and misusage cause bacteria to gain a resistance. Which is why most doctors try not to prescribe the same antibiotics twice in a row. And why you should always take as directed. Finish the entire prescribed dosage and don't just stop taking them because symptoms go away. Finish it off. If you don't, there could be bacteria still there, but because they've been introduced to the antibiotics but not killed by them, they can develop a resistance.
Antibiotics are fine. Just use them exactly as instructed, but don't take them when you don't need them.
The question is what to do after a few crazy mongering sessions and you want to make sure you don't infect your current SO. I think we all know what to do when your dick starts burning. I've probably taken zithro 4 times this year just as precaution after some wild sessions but I don't want to do that too frequently. Any other suggestions?

Well, passed with flying colors I guess. Got the word after 2 weeks and a day. All NEG. Whew. Was so paranoid, maybe even psychosomatic for a couple days, even did some research after I got the results on the subject of 'false negative' results. Guess now I can get back to a more regular schedule of popping the wife.
Think I'll probably scale back the extracurricular activity to just one or two who I know I can trust (is there any?) on my little island and perhaps 1 or 2 in the city. I always use a raincoat, even on a sunny day, and if it's all covered and I don't dine I know I will be fine. I'm OK being covered FS and on the receiving end of a BJ if she is OK giving it that way. But a real weakness of mine is my appetite and eating. Guess I just have to be careful not to eat the contaminated foods in order to avoid ciguatera or salmonella. Also need to be mindful of which animals to feed without balloon and which to just throw food at. Sure will miss the buffet tho, such variety and so yummy!! It's definitely a weakness for me, the desire to conquer and always add to the list.
As for the topic of banter lately, best to use antibiotics only when needed and from a trusted source. Body can build up a resistance to their efficacy and when you need them most and they don't work. Sux!
Be safe gang.
Now, not everything in this first post is 100% accurate, but it's fairly well-done. If you haven't seen it already.

And probably the most important for most of us, since I think HIV is really the only thing a lot of mongers worry about, if anything.

It has happened a few times when I was boning girlfriends but only once on an AMP girl amd I'm a non bb'ing monger just cause I'm paranoid. I also read about getting HPV and then throat cancer from datying. Got to check up on that too.
