Likewise, the use of antibiotics, especially in young children, has created permanent problems in the lives of the antibiotics’ consumers. Along with short term side effects associated with the destruction of beneficial bacteria, such as developing diarrhea, antibiotics are also responsible for long term autoimmune problems. The scientific validity concerning the development of these autoimmune issues is supported by studies which show that there is a “direct relationship between antibiotic use in the first 3 years of life and asthma and allergy symptoms in children aged 6–8 years old” (Raciborski 470). In 2012, Polish researchers developed a questionnaire that compared children who were given antibiotic treatments and their propensity to have allergy and asthma with children who did not receive an antibiotic
