My doctor recently prescribed me antibiotics, which I am paranoid about as I have taken a lot recently. Is taking a lot of antibiotics bad for me personally, like I will be less able to fight infection with antibiotics later on?
Or, is it almost like pollution, where people as a whole are just using too much of it for it to be sustainable?
Other way of saying it I guess: Is 5 people taking 1 unnecessary antibiotic each a year the same as 1 person taking 5 unncessary antibiotics a year?

The bacteria themselves become antibiotic resistant, which is bad for everyone. It’s especially bad for people with weaker immune systems and those who end up in the hospital more.
