Oh, so you are allergic to penicillin? That’s a shame. Luckily you aren’t fatally allergic like some unfortunate individuals.

You’re right on. Some people are highly allergic to penicillin. Fortunately, there are other antibiotics that can be used in its place.

cool info I have often wonder as well how it works….. but most of the time it does

What a share!

I need to research, but I guess you are missing out something. Good pictures.

its a very informative post…good research..

Well, I do like that blue smelly cheese all covered with mould.

Penicillin has been widely used for years. Most people are not allergic just like most are not allergic to nuts, dairy or wheat. Penicillin was/is used to treat bacterial infections. They were the first antibiotics to treat serious diseases like syphilis. The use of a blue mould on bread was one of the first uses of penicillin to treat bacteria in wounds.

thanks for sharing your perspective good entry Ceegirl

It is definately bad for me, I’m allergic to it. Great write.

I struggled a bit to find the text between the big pictures! But finally I got your message. Informative.

Many of my friends and family are allergic to penicillin as well.

thanks for sharing this with us, interesting read

Great work!!!!! I agree, penicillin is not for everyone. There are so many antibiotics for bacterial diseases that I’m pretty sure your doctor can find one in which you do not respond badly.
If you are sick, I’m sorry to hear it and I hope that you get better soon.

Interesting read thanks for the share

Individuals do have reactions to all sorts of in-use medicines, as unfortunately you do but penicillin has saved many thousand if not millions of lives worldwide.

Well said! Great photos

I owe my life to penicillin. Large doses are the cure for spinal meningitis which can kill you in less than 24 hours.

Good work.

We as human are complex – What might be good for some may not be for others. Good info hanks for sharing.

As I understand it, penicillin comes in various preparations to prevent allergic reactions to sensitive individuals. Nice share.

I’m allergic to penicillin too but it is (literally) a life-saver to many.
