Childhood asthma rates have fallen because fewer unnecessary antibiotics are being prescribed to babies within the first year of life, a study by B.C. researchers says.
It says infants who were given antibiotics face nearly double the risk of asthma by age five. Earlier research shows the drugs affect so-called good bacteria in the gut.
Researchers from B.C. Children's Hospital, the B.C. Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) and the University of British Columbia found that every 10 per cent increase in the prescription of antibiotics was linked with a 24 per cent jump in asthma rates.
The study on the most common chronic childhood disease was published recently in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.
But sinkies love antibiotics. No wonder so many asthma cases. But don't give antibiotics they say you LOUSY FARKED UP GP!
