Someone here will inevitably say "I took Cipro et.al just fine".

A lot of my childhood was spent in hospitals, and I've had a variety of antibiotics over the years. And anesthetics, I've become quite the connoisseur. I'm not allergic to anything, I've never had a reaction of any kind to any drug. Not even allergic to any foods. Bring on the shrimp and peanuts!

I was recently given Cipro. My entire back broke out in a rash. Not a devastating side effect, but after a lifetime of a variety of drugs of all sorts without any but the desired effect, it sure made me go "WTF? You sure this shit's safe?"

If you look into their history you find that they are decedents of failed chemotherapy drugs.

No, they are not safe.
