There is an interesting side effect of CIPRO that affects many people. The anti-biotic makes you very tired to the point where you are forced to take naps every day. Combined with the increase in sleeping patterns due to depression they literally can bring our national productivity way down...

Years ago, after a life-threatening infection I developed from a dog bite, I took keflex, then had to take massive quantities of penicillin intravenously. It saved my life, but I was tired for many, many months. I was also glad that I had not abused antibiotics in the past b/c I needed them to save my life from this infection. They should only be used with care and I have been concerned about some of the advice I've heard.

Interesting point.

Penicillin is cidal and destroys anthrax, whereas the tetracyclines do not kill it, only slow it.

Explain to me why this would be bad if those taking Cipro are liberal Democrats or press people? Now if we have to start treating productive members of society, yeah, we got a problem. but so far. . . (There is a silver lining to even the darkest cloud.)

Well, in Congress that would be a good thing. Maybe we should force everyone there to take it!
