A case of pneumonia led one man to “hear God” after tripping on antibiotics in a rare case of antibiomania, a state of psychosis from taking the common remedy.
A recently published case study appearing in the journal BMC Psychiatry reported symptoms of a 50-year-old man with a bacterial infection of the respiratory illness, requiring antibiotics to treat.
However, the man who had never before ingested an antibiotic in his life soon discovered he is one of the few people in the world who experience psychedelic hallucinations thanks to conventional antibiotics. The report described the man as having mood swings, feeling irritable and beginning to believe he was dying and hearing voices that were not there.

Oy vey. Just sit in church with a Tabernacle. My Irish ancestors did this centuries ago until now. People insist on seeing evidence of God when He’s there all the time. St. Paul talked about it 2000 years ago.
Well what did God say?
Yeah, well once I saw God while playing Black Sabbath at 78 speed, man.
I had to make sure this wasn’t satire.
“...a bacterial infection of the respiratory illness...”
Who writes this stuff?
This is a new one to me.
I have an old record player upstairs that will play at 78, 45, 33, AND 16 RPM.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 16 RPM record.
Was he pissed off? 🤪
Hey man I’ve got some bios, want a hit?
I wonder if God sounded suspiciously like the Grateful Dead.
IIRC 16rpm it was used for recording voice but not music, and the invention of tape recording made it antiquated.
While having an allergy attack, I once took a really strong antihistamine. When that didn’t work, I popped a different really strong antihistamine.
Wow, those two really interacted. I was very close to hallucinations to the point where my wife almost took me to the hospital.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 16 RPM record.”
When I was very young I played my parents 16 2/3 ‘s on their console which also entertained me with broadcasts from all over the world.
Man; "Yeah, I played In A Gadda Davida like backwards a thousand times man".
Interviewer; "And what happened?"
Man; "I talked to God. But some poeople this it was the 400 acid trips I took."
So was it Covid? 🤣
If q man hears a voice that no one else hears does that voice exist?
“Wait....Am I on Candid Camera?”
