Fish antibiotics

[rebelracer79]

In a book I was reading, the main character added fish antibiotics, like for aquarium fish to his preps, says they are the same as human antibiotics but available over the counter, anyone ever heard of this?

Btw the book was 299 days

If you're going for over the counter anti-biotics down at the feed store, at least go for the stuff that was meant for mammals, because if you're reading this, you're probably a mammal. Jam that dirty needle in your arm and take your chances.

Also bear in mind the anti-biotics don't last that long in the refrigerater which won't last that long when the whole electrical grid collapses and the decent people begin to panic.

One thing about gettin sick, either you get well or you die.
Gawd I love the the self-sufficent future we're planning here.

These are pills

Hard to make those fish eat pills. Need to melt those down and mainline them sumbitches.

Good stuff. Made by Thomas Labs.
Also, the idea that drugs go bad in a short time has been questioned. Just like canned goods, things that are shelf stable can last a long, long time.
Get some and look up the numbers on the pills.

Good luck and keep prepping.

Guys, I'm not telling you not to use antibiotics manufactured for animal use because I didn't take a "human" prescriprion drug until I was in my mid-20s, but DO YOUR RESEARCH (and I mean the serious, scientific kind) and pay attention to expiration dates.

I'm on my phone so this link isn't hot.

But you need to read it. There are some medications that become toxic as they age. Educate yourselves so you don't inadvertently make a bad situation worse.

................. because I didn't take a "human" prescriprion drug until I was in my mid-20s, QUOTE]

uhmmmmmmmmmmmm, what kind of 'drugs' DID you take, way back in the '70's?

JK

seriously ............. just do the research, like BB said. WALGREEN'S advertises they can fill your PET PRESCRIPTIONS. Most are the same thing, key word is MOST, does not mean mammals only. Dosages are by body weight, on some drugs; a cow / horse may use the same drug, but NOT the same dose.

My drug of choice in the '60s and '70s was Jack Daniels Black...
