Awukwazi ukushukumisa oko khohlela? Ngaba ufuna ukubaleka uye kugqirha ucele i-antibiotic? Yilinde, utsho uGqr. Mark Ebel, M.D. Ayizozibulala-zintsholongwane ezigxotha isifuba. Lixesha. (Jonga: Ungawususa njani uMbane oBandayo ngokukhawuleza.)

UGqr. Ebel wenza isifundo esilula. Unjingalwazi weYunivesithi yaseGeorgia ubuze abahlali abangama-500 baseGeorgia ukuba bacinga ukuba ukhohlela uhlala ixesha elingakanani. Uye wathelekisa iimpendulo zabo kwidatha ebonisa ukuba ukhohlokhohlo uhlala ixesha elingakanani. Umsantsa wawumkhulu. Ngelixa abaphenduli besithi ukukhohlela kuhlala phakathi kweentsuku ezintlanu ukuya kwezisithoba, uphando olupapashiweyo lubonisa ubude beentsuku ezili-17.8, ukusuka kwi-15.3 ukuya kwiintsuku ezingama-28.6.

Kwenye indawo phakathi komhla wesixhenxe kunye nomhla we-17.8, abantu abaninzi baya kugqirha kwii-antibiotics ezingazidingiyo. Kungenxa yoko le nto uGqirha Ebell esithi uyalele isifundo.

"Asinamonde kweli lizwe. Sifuna izinto ezishushu kwaye ngoku kwaye ngokukhawuleza," utsho.

Ukubanda kwesifuba, u-Ebell uthi ii-antibiotics kufuneka zithathwe ngabo bakwiminyaka egqithileyo yobudala-abancinci kakhulu nabadala kakhulu-kunye nabo banesifo esinganyangekiyo semiphunga, ukuphefumla kancinci, ukuvutha okukhulu, okanye ukuqina esifubeni, okanye ngabo Okhohlela igazi okanye isikhohlela esimdaka-bumdaka-mhlwa. Wongeza ukuba ukuba wena okanye umntu omthandayo uziva ulusizi kangangokuba ube nexhala, jonga ugqirha.

Abo bafuna amayeza okubulala iintsholongwane ngenxa yengqele okanye umkhuhlane bayawutyeshela umthetho osisiseko wamayeza. Amayeza okubulala iintsholongwane anyanga kuphela izifo ezibangelwa ziintsholongwane. Abakwazi ukunyanga izifo zentsholongwane ezinjengomkhuhlane, umkhuhlane, uninzi lokukhohlela, i-bronchitis, iimpumlo ezihambileyo kunye nomqala obuhlungu ongabangelwa yimisinga. (Oku kuya kukunceda uthathe isigqibo sokuba kubanda, umkhuhlane, okanye uxabana.)

Kutheni oogqirha bewayalela nje? Ukungaqiniseki, uxinzelelo lwexesha, uxinzelelo lwezezimali, kunye nokuthatha isenzo, esisifo esibuhlungu esivela kugqirha nakwisigulana. Ukunyanzeliswa kwesenzo kuthetha ukuba xa ejongene nengxaki, umntu uya kukhetha isenzo kunokwenza okuthile ukunqanda ukuzisola.

Kukuthatha icala okukhokelela kwizigulana kunye nee-inshorensi zabo ukuba bachithe imali eninzi kwii-antibiotics abangazifuniyo, oko kuqhubela phambili iindleko ngaphakathi kweyona nkqubo yezempilo sele ibiza kakhulu kwihlabathi.

Kukho iziphumo ebezingalindelekanga. Amayeza okubulala iintsholongwane anokushiya izigulana zichanabeke ekubeni sisicaphucaphu, ukuhlanza, kunye norhudo. I-antibiotic ekhangela ibhaktheriya kwimiphunga yakho iya kuzingela esiswini sakho, nayo, apho inokubulala "iibhaktheriya ezilungileyo" kwinkqubo yakho yokugaya. Molo, igumbi lokuhlambela.

Kukho iimpembelelo ekuhlaleni ngokunjalo. Iintsholongwane zinokunganyangeki kwii-antibiotics, kwaye ngenxa yokuba abantu bechitha iibhaktheriya rhoqo, oko kuxhathisa kunokudluliselwa kwabo bakungqongileyo, kubenze baxhathise ngakumbi kwii-antibiotics. (Kwaye ayisiyonto yekamva leyo: iibhaktheriya ezinganyangekiyo zizintsholongwane sele ingumba-kubandakanya ii-superbugs ezinganyangekiyo ze-STD.)

U-Ebell unovelwano kwizigulana ezifuna ukuziva zingcono, ngakumbi abo bangekho kwiintsuku zokugula abanqwenela ukusebenza. (Kwirekhodi, abantu baseMelika kufanele ukuba bathathe iintsuku zokugula.) Ucebisa irejimeni yamayeza e-counter-counter, amayeza asekhaya kunye nokuphumla. Uthi: “Yenza zonke ezi zinto umama wakho akuxelele ukuba uzenze.
