*Importance of Microorganisms*

Some microbes are important for human health, while others can make us ill. Microbes are also vital to all life. They play a role in:

- *Normal flora/Microbiota*: Microorganisms inhabit the skin and mucous membranes of healthy normal persons from shortly after birth until death
- *Nutrient recycling*: Microbes decompose organic residues and release nutrients back into the soil.
- *Renewable energy*: Microscopic algae store energy in the form of oil, which can be extracted and converted into fuel.
- *Greenhouse gas emissions*: Microbes in soil and aquatic environments produce greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.

*What are Microorganisms or Microbes?*

Microbes are tiny living things that are found all around us. They are too small to be seen by the naked eye. They live in water, soil, and in the air.

The human body is home to millions of these microbes too. Some microbes make us ill, while others are important for our health.

It is estimated that there could be at least 1 billion different species of microbes on Earth. These microbes can be grouped into five major types: Viruses, Bacteria, Archaea, Fungi, and Protists. Others may include Green Algae and Helminths

Every headache and fever are not Malaria, Typhoid or both. There are several reasons why you may also have headache.

- Hunger
- Stress
- Not driniking enough water
- Not eating enough
- Common cold (cattarh or cough, which are not symtoms of malaria like most people think),
- Elevated blood pressure in some cases
- Migraines
- Eye problems
'- And a host of other reasons.

Heck, living in Nigeria alone sef can give headache.

This also goes for fever. There are a host of reasons why one can have fever that are not Malaria or Typhoid.

- Tonsillitis or sore throat
- Diarrhea or running stomach
- Other infections in the body
- And other reasons....

When you have fever or headache, there will be other accompanying symptoms that will differentiate between different illnesses and help your health professional make a diagnosis of what is wrong. Stop self medicating and misusing Antimicrobials. Stop causing Antimicrobial resistance. Speak to your physician or Pharmacist before taking any drugs.

Still on the matter!!!

Misuse and Overuse of Antimicrobial drugs are associated with consequences to not only the individual patient but society as a whole. Join the awareness campaign on Rational use of Antimicrobials by posting on your social media handles.

*One capsule of Upjohn doesn't cure boils. You're only creating Antimicrobial resistance.*

*Antibiotics capsules should not be opened to pour on open wounds. Capsules are meant to be swallowed whole.*

*One or two capsules/tablets of Red and yellow capsule and flagyl are not the cure for running stomach. You're only causing more problems for your body.*
