Listen now: Why resistance to antibiotics is one of the biggest threats to your health
Antibiotic resistance is a huge and growing global problem, as these common drugs, prescribed daily, are having less effect on debilitating – sometimes, even life-threatening – conditions.
This week's special guest on The Life Edit is Yahoo UK's health reporter, Alexandra Thompson. She explains exactly what's gone wrong, and why – and how we can keep ourselves safe.
"This has been an ongoing issue for decades," says Alexandra. "We're reaching a critical point where some infections will become incurable."
She explains the growing problem of MRSA, superbugs and warns "This is something we have to deal with now."
But it's not all gloom - Flic also reveals what's got her through lockdown (spoiler: they have furry ears) and Alexandra explains the path we can still take out of danger.
All of this and more will be discussed in The Life Edit - Do not miss it.
New episodes drop every Thursday, so make a note, and be in the know.
