It's Just Eye Ointment (Erythromycin)

Silver nitrate was used as a medical treatment for thousands of years. But in 1999, the FDA ruled that it was unsafe. Candace investigates how and why modern day antibiotics took over the use of silver nitrate as a treatment for babies with eye infections born to mothers with gonorrhea. She also questions why so many parents allow their children to be given Erythromycin as a treatment when they don't need it.
