Player #9113963, The story that Alexander Fleming (or Alex and his father Hugh) twice saved Churchill’s life, charming as it may be, is certainly fiction. This persistent Churchill legend dates back to World War II. It is still found today on otherwise serious websites, despite abundant evidence against it. We are frequently asked about it, but explanations currently on the web are incomplete or inaccurate. Here for the record is the full story. Let us begin with the latest Internet version.

Linda

I didn't know this was how it was discovered. Super cool.

Perry

Player nawa, also garlic and onions.

brownie, just an FYI all antibiotics can induce yeast infections according to duration and strength. while working to kill bacteria causing the illness they may also kill good bacteria that prevent yeast infections. that's why it's always a good idea to take probiotics when using an antibiotic or to eat foods like yogurt or other fermented foods to help offset the problem.

Robin

Player #8878888, what are the odds? my mom, sister and I are allergic to it too.

brownie

penicillin would give me yeast infections

Magic

Thank God for penicillin!!

JoeySchmidt

George Gunn, as a Scot, I'm all fur biggin' up ma hame, but penicillin was merely "rediscovered" by Fleming.

Player #19675725

Of course, Dr. Alexander Flemming... I remember this topic in my General Science subject back in High School.

Catmad

I was born in St Mary's Hospital, London. Ironically I am allergic to penicillin - it nearly killed me off as a child when I had whooping cough, pneumonia and collapsed lung. Still here though 👍
