Staph

I'm paranoid that my daughter and I have staph crawling all over our bodies, just waiting for an innocent fingernail scratch or whitehead popping to set up shop on the inside.

I spent a couple of days being mad at the medical community for giving away so many antibiotics so that this supermonster had a chance to breed. No fair! I thought. Now those of us living after the age of antibiotic overuse are worse off that those who perpetuated this in the first place. We're worse off than before antibiotics!

But then I realized that we're not. We're just right back where we started. Right back where we always were, only I forget it: subject to fate and nature.
