[owlectomy]

Back when I still had cable and was watching House regularly, it struck me that if any moral could be drawn from it, it was that human bodies are extremely delicate systems and as soon as you try to fix one thing you're going to knock something else out of whack. Which isn't always true, of course. It only makes good drama if you can have a round or two of "Oh no - the treatment only made things worse!"

But it would seem I'm having a round of my own "Oh no - the treatment only made things worse!". In other words: I really miss my normal population of bacteria. Still, I've had it drummed into me that I must finish out my antibiotics lest I breed a drug-resistant race of superbugs.

Must eat more yogourt.
