I believe stress can effect physically apart from mental unbalance. Even the above research proved it. very interesting topic for research.

With the rise of drug-resistant bacteria we all need to be alarmed. Why are bacteria becoming resistant and why should we be concerned? Nearly one in five pneomococci, the bacteria responsible for many pneumonias, is resistant to penicillin. This is not a theory, it is a problem that has arrived. The good news is that we all can play a role in helping ease the antibiotic crisis by becoming more smart at home. Avoid using "antibacterial" cleaning and consumer products as research suggests they do not prevent infections when used at home. Use antibiotic creams ONLY when cuts leave visible dirt or grime. Washing thouroughly with soap and water is usually sufficient. Doctors sometimes prescribe antibiotics for viral infections just "to be safe" or at our (the patients) request; however, antibiotics only help bacterial infections. Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic but ask you to take it only if certain symptoms or conditions develop. Follow those directions. If you need an antibiotic, ask for a drug that will target the likely bacteria, not a broad spectrum medication which is often much more expensive and unnecessary. Always make sure you finish your course of antibiotics if given a prescription. If you do not finish it, the bacteria treated often survive and thus develop resistance to the prescribe antibiotic creating "superbugs" we are now know them. The bottom line: Relieve your stress with know stress relieving technigues and strategies, and remove any antimicrobial products from your home. Effective hand washing has been proven to beat infections before they start and don't forget to keep your hands away from your eyes, mouth and nose. To stress free living!
