Think of it like this: your body is infected with letters A-Z.

You take some antibiotics and after a few days, it kills all of the consonants, but the vowels AEIOU are still hanging on.

You feel mostly better, so you stop.

AEIOU now take all the free space and nutrients and multiply.

You take your antibiotics again. But it’s AEIOU town and they don’t go down so easily.
