I just did some quick research. Apparently, if you take it only for a couple of days it shouldn't alter your resistance. However, prolonged use (10 days to two weeks or more) will indeed create a resistant bacteria. Eighty percent of people who inhale anthrax die within days if they are not treated for it. In order for the Cipro to work it has to be taken at least within 12 to 24 hours of exposure. From what I've read, once the fever, chills and respiratory symptoms set in there is little that can be done. This disease in my opinion is a lot worse than we are being led to believe by officials.

There is an antitoxin that counteracts the anthrax toxin, even after toxin production has started. It is cheap and easy to make. Don't know why we don't hear more about this.

I posted an article about it from abcnews.com a couple of weeks ago, but can't retrieve it now.

Information is DANGEROUSLY WRONG.

Taking any antibiotic for only a few days kills weak germs. ...but the STRONG survive. Then in absence of anti-biotic, (because it wasn't taken for entire reccomended dosing time) the still living, strongest bacteria multipy so you have a much worse disease caused by much stronger bacteria! This resistance stuff is BS in anthrax cases such as this.

Take antibiotic for entire prescribed time!
