I recently found a friend on Facebook I lost touch with about 9 years ago when I left St. Louis. His story is really sad:
5-1/2 years ago he had a severe reaction to an antibiotic he was put on called Cipro. He told me that this is what the reaction looks like:

He said it has been a very tough 5 years, the hardest years of his life. He said it's ironic that all his life doctors have told him, don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs. Then they give him a drug that totally fucks up his life.
Be aware of the dangers Cipro and other antibiotics called "fluoroquinolones" or "quinolones."
