Antibiotic Overuse

For years now, Joe Alton, M.D. aka Dr. Bones and Amy Alton, A.R.N.P. aka Nurse Amy have written about the importance of adding antibiotics to your medical storage.  In times of trouble, simple cuts from chopping wood or other activities of daily survival can lead to infection that can become life-threatening.  In the History Channel series ?After Armageddon?, an EMT got just such a cut, and watched himself slowly die from septicemia (an infection in the bloodstream) because the community had run out of antibiotics.  Our mission is to prevent such unnecessary deaths in a survival situation; many of our articles discuss fish antibiotics and other means of stockpiling needed supplies.

This doesn?t mean, however, that you, survival medic, should use antibiotics for every medical problem you encounter.  Here?s a video by Dr. Bones about the dangers of the overuse of antibiotics?

By the way...
I was in Tractor Supply this week buying a 6 Vlt battery for the tractor  :tractor: and I noticed a refrigerator on the floor. I opened it and low and behold there was a shit-ton of medications for farm critters. The one that really caught my eye was plain old penicillin in 8 oz bottles. There were others too like saline, blood clot, vitamin, insulin, etc.. all in 1 to 8 oz bottles.   

They also had intravenous kits too. But with a hefty 18 gauge needles which I am sure could be switched out with a 22 or 24.

Two things to mention:
A) I recently used fish antibiotics (Amoxicillin) for a sinus infection, they worked.  YMMV but I will use them again in the future.

B) Many of the Docs I work with aren't as quick to subscribe antibiotics now as they have been in the past.

Jsut throwing this out there FWIW.

I've know someone who used fish medicine to help heal a nasty cut.  Now she has a stockpile of them put away.  It's well worth keeping in mind.  Welcome to UP TexasRN.

Feel free to double check me,  the following are generally what are prescribed where I work:

Zpak: Follow directions, 2 pills first day, then one pill daily until complete (Usually 5 days).  My understanding is that the medication cont. to work against the bacteria for an additional 5 days or so after the last dose.

Doxycycline 100mg twice a day for 10 days

Levaquin 750mg 1 pill a day for 10 days

Augmentin 1000mg (1gm) twice a day for 10 days.

As a disclaimer you should always be seen by a medical doctor to correctly diagnose an illness and prescribe medicine.
