I REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE ANTIBIOTICS. In fact I HATE all types of medication TAKEN ORALLY. I only take Tylenol if I'm ever sick. I eat healthy, don't drink, don't smoke, and medication is something I would rather keep out my system. I don't mind needles and medications through IV but I will never do anything orally.
