Antibiotic is a drug produced by certain microbes. Antibiotics destroy other microbes that damage human tissues. They are used to treat a wide variety of diseases, including gonorrhea, tonsillitis, and tuberculosis.


Antibiotics are sometimes called “Wonder drugs” because they can cure diseases such as meningitis, pneumonia, and scarlet fever. But, when the antibiotics are overused or misused, these drugs make a person sensitive being attacked by a superbug.


Antibiotics do not always distinguish between harmless and dangerous microbes. If a drug destroys too many harmless microorganism, the pathogenic ones (the dangerous microbes) will have a greater chance to multiply. This situation often leads to the development of a new infection called suprainfection.


Extensive use of some antibiotics may damage organs and tissues. For example, streptomycin, which is used to treat tuberculosis, has caused kidney damage and deafness.


Resistance to antibiotics may be ecquired by pathogenic microbes. The resistant microbes transfer genetic material to non-resistant microbes and cause them to become resistant. During antibiotic treatment, non-resistant microbes are destroyed, but resistant types survive and multiply.


To avoid the side effect of antibiotics, you’d better not urge your doctor to prescribe antibiotics. Keep in mind that antibiotics are only useful for bacterial infections and have no effect on viruses, so they cannot be used for chicken pox, measles, and other viral diseases.


Question :

"Which diseases cannot be cured by antibiotics?"

a)

Meningitis

b)

Tonsillitis

c)

Tuberculosis

d)

Scarlet fever

e)

Chicken pox

USE AF FORMALIN AND OTHER ADDITIVES IN FOODS


The use of formalin and other dangerous preservatives in food has been a serious for two reasons. Firstly, formalin is not for human beings, but it is for biological specimen and experiments. Formalin in biology is a 10% solution of formaldehyde in water which is usually used as a disinfectant or to preserve biological specimens. Thus, it is not for food preservative, it will be very dangerous to human’s body.

When the control is weak and the use of formalin is spread wide all over the Indonesia regions, and these days it has really happened, the citizens’ bodies will be badly contaminated with the poisons. Fish or food traders still sell their product which contain formalin and dangerous preservatives.

The government should Provide rehabilitation Program for Drug Users


Drug users are actually ill people who need help. Rehabilitation is one of the main things they should get. Instead of punishing drug users in prisons, the government should provide rehabilitation for them.


Most users are actually victims of persuasive peddlers and they suffer from consuming the drugs. Therefore, by rehabilitating them, we are actually helping them out from traps, which they might accidentally step on.


If we only arrest drug users and send them to jail, this doesn't solve the problem as drug users will still be addicted unless proper rehabilitation is imposed to them. Providing rehabilitation programs for drug users and forcing them to participate in the programs is better than only arresting them and doing nothing to their illness. Only drug dealers, traffickers, and wholesalers should be imprisoned.

a)

Rehabilitation center

Wholesalers
