[Summit] Neighborly WARNING re: antbiotic Zithromax

Tue Jan 22 18:57:15 UTC 2013

I am NOT disputing the need for antibiotics (which was real for me) or the

I am just trying to warn people to be sure as you can be that all due
diligence is taken that YOU are not going to be the one with the cardiac
side effects.

This stuff is SERIOUS.
and terrifying.
