Where do I begin? These claims are so unscientific and generalistic, they're dangerous. You guys are confusing or oversimplifying antibiotic microbial resistance with cleanliness, antimicrobial surface treatments, viral antibody defense, and wussliness. They ain't the same animal, folks. Pathenogenic bacteria have developed resistance to several antibiotics, but not to basic time-temperature limitations.

Your gut hasn't got a chance against bacterial enteroxins with the help of antibiotics or not. Nor does it harden up against pathogenic bacteria in the absence of antibiotics. You don't get tougher when wusses take their antibiotics.

Your body might do better against common cold viruses if you live like a pig and get exposed to every bug that's out there. But then again, if you're exposed to every bug, that means you get sick a lot, doesn't it?

And resistance to colds has nothing to do with eating a Salmonella-laden sandwich (which you aren't going to cook). When you eat that sandwich, or one that's loaded with Staph enterotoxins, you're going to spend a few very unpleasant hours on the toilet, or hunched up over a pot heaving your guts out, whether you're a wuss or a real man.
