Antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Explanation: Stopping antibiotics early can leave behind a subset of bacteria that survived the treatment; those survivors are more likely to be resistant and can multiply, causing a recurrence that's harder to treat and potentially spread resistant strains. It doesn't cause health-code violations or food-borne illnesses, nor does it make antibiotics act faster. Always follow your prescriber's instructions or ask them before stopping.
