Hahaha , what a paradox,

Self-medication (although may seem to be a rapid way to get rid of an infection ) is a slow and dangerous way to harm the human body

You try to treat your self and eventually, you destroy your own body. That shows the level of confusion in man. I think like you said, that it's common in developing countries, however, it's not only peculiar to developing countries, but also peculiar in some developed countries too. Many people resolve to do self medication because of poverty and poor orientation. Well done @ugonma for giving us this piece of information.
