Uh, the illegals are not over-medicated, and the crap they bring in is old-school.

Are you sure? You can buy most any med OTC in Mexico. In the US, you can get most common *old school* antibiotics in a feed store. Farmers keep large stocks of common injectables and oral antibiotics around for their livestock. Meat animals around the world are fed these drugs.

Old school diseases that have become resistant are commonly reported. My personal experience was of getting a lower respiratory infection while traveling in the South Pacific. I was in remote areas and had to wait for the Flying Doctor.

I received 150 mg of erythromycin plus a tiny steroid tablet
to be taken over a 10 day period. It was not strong enough.
I arrived back home quite ill and my US doctor prescribed some huge flouroquinolone that gave results within days, but which had to be taken for three weeks. I had some side effects and secondary effects that lasted months. No idea what I picked up, but no one in the islands was the least bit worried, while my MD was. Was it *old school*? Mutated? A poor prescription? That was 13 years ago. Could I rely on a quinolone again if this occurred?

Do you have links to back up your assertions? Just so we can all stop worrying?
