You are ever a dream, and never a reality. You are a scheme, but never a plan. You are a wish without command.

So I talked about this before but I reblogged it only the back of another post and I’ve decided to just make my own post about it.
We’ve all seen this cursed picture
And we’ve all thought “why the hell does he have a bag of several hard boiled eggs????”
Well I’m here to tell you exactly why.
So my head cannon is this:
The humans at school were confused by Emmett. They were confused by all the cullen kids because they never ate, but ESPECIALLY Emmett. How can he be so buff if they’ve never even seen him bring food to school? He deals with this issue for decades. Eventually he sees Beauty and the Beast(probably in theaters in 1991). He didn’t relate to Gaston because Gaston hates women, but the second Gaston sang “When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large and now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs so I'm roughly the size of a barge” something clicked for him. Since then he brings large amounts of hard boiled eggs with him to school. If anyone ever gets the courage to ask why he has so many eggs he bursts into that bit of the song. People learn that it’s just easier to not ask the Cullens about their dietary habits. They still think the Cullens are weird and don’t eat enough, but they’ll never one of them about it to their faces ever again. After all, who knows what kind of weird shit Alice will sing if they prompt her with this question.

I’m sorry, this isn’t Jojo at all but I think I’ve had it for today. As a pharmacy tech, I’m tired of hearing “Well, I started to feel better so I didn’t finish them.” I always knew this but now as a Molecular and Cellular Biology major, I not only know why but how. If you’re willing to heed my advice from the title, good; be on your way. If you need to know more, keep reading.
But in an infection, you already have resistant bacteria lurking. Not taking antibiotics doesn’t literally create resistant bacteria. So how, then, do the antibiotics take care of the resistant ones?
A lot of antibiotics aren’t bacterialcidal: They don’t actually kill them. Many inhibit growth by some mechanism depending if the bacterium is gram negative or gram positive. For example, penicillin inhibits growth by disrupting the formation of a peptidoglycan layer on gram positive bacteria. Others target the LPS layer on gram negative ones. This keeps the non resistant bacteria at bay. So what kills the resistant ones? Your immune system. Antibiotics buy time and energy for your immune system to recognize and destroy the resistant strains. Your immune system is intelligent in that sense and can form antibodies for new illnesses. It’s important to give your immune system this time because bacteria grow, mutate, and transfer genetic material at astonishing rates. If you wanted to look at a microcosm of the mechanics that go into evolution, you’ve got it with bacteria.
There are three methods aside from binary fission in which they transfer genes (I won’t get into the minutia of the form of informational material): Transformation, transduction and conjugation.
In transformation, a bacterium can pickup lost genes from a ruptured and dead cell.
Transduction is a way to transfer information via a viral vector.
In conjugation, genes are transferred through something called a pilus: It’s a bridge between two cells that pipes a copy of the information from one cell to another receptive cell and is the only method that doesn’t involve killing either cells. Resistant bacteria like to give around that resistance information like they’re burning a CD for their friends.
So please finish your antibiotics if you’ve been given them. It doesn’t matter if you’ve started to feel better or even great. Finish them.
(Hey science people, If I’ve missed anything or even got something wrong, help me out. There’s obviously lengthy stuff I’ve left out but I think I got the basics).
We hope to inspire people to live a better life, help them build self-esteem, create and maintain healthy relationships with family and friends, make them smile, and give them useful information worth sharing with their loved ones.
