      If we keep on mis-using antibiotics, then there might be! It’s a big problem right now that bacteria are evolving to be resistant to antibiotics, so they don’t work as well to cure diseases. If there’s ever a bacteria that’s really dangerous and also resistant to antibiotics that would be really bad.
