The body does not build up immunity to penicillin. The bacteria that penicillin is designed to kill does. When you have a bacterial infection a doctor may prescribe penicillin to kill the bacteria off. As you take the penicillin more and more bacteria are killed within your system and you start to feel better. As you start to feel better you become less aware of the symptoms of the infection and are inclined to forget to keep taking the remainder if your penicillin (after all I feel fine you say) the problem however is that some of the bacteria are not killed of if the coarse of medicine is not finished. These bacteria are likely to form a resistance to penicillin as a result of their exposure making the illness harder to treat next time. Some illnesses that were once easily treated with penicillin are now very difficult or impossible to treat. Many as the direct result of over use or improper use of penicillin.

Which body system does hives affect?
Hives are the result of an immune system overreacting to an allergen. For example, some people have no problem with penicillin as a medication, but other people react to penicillin, breaking out in hives. The immune system attacks the penicillin, treating it as a foreign substance... which is technically correct, but it isn't the reaction that we necessarily want.
