Antibiotic overuse: Dear Matthew1 This is a very relevant question in this day and age. The best way to protect against bacteria or disease spreading organisms in general is to practice good hand washing and to stay well hydrated. Also equally important is to avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics for viral or non bacterial infections. Unfortunately there are still practices that do that. I hope that this helps.
