Keesha gets sick pretty often. But she almost never finishes taking the antibiotics that her doctor prescribes. Instead, she often keeps a few leftover pills from each prescription in her bathroom cabinet. Why is it so dangerous for Keesha to stop taking her prescriptions early?

Because the doctor gave her a certain amount that she doesn’t use all the way, the antibiotic does not work in full effect, kind of like turning in an assignment that isn’t completed.
