Fish Antibiotics

If you've ever had a sick child with strep or anything really and noted how quickly antibiotics tames such a infection, and if you're a prepper and wondered what you'd do after something might happen that might block or delay proper medical care then perhaps your fish might be something to consider.

Fish apparently take the same antibiotics that people do.  The question is are they as pure?  Are the binders toxic to people?

After doing some research apparently a lot of people, who purport to be medically trained, say maybe.  Now I could tell you I'm a anything from a EMT to a pharamicist to a GP.  You have no way of verifying that.  (I'm not).  Much like you have no way of verifying most anything you read on the web.

But based on my research am I going to add some fish biotics to our hope chest?  Yes, yes I am.  I'm going to do as much research as I can to try and insure I get the best quality such items that I can but in a situation where it's either watch someone die or suffer brain/organ damage from extreme fevers or risk giving them anitbiotics made for fish then I'm going to likely fall down on the fish.

I strongly advise you to do your own research and I under no cirucmstances say that my decision should influence yours. I merely offer this information up for edutainment purposes and any harm you suffer is your responsibility. 

I offer up these links as a way to get you started with that research and remember as part of that research you need to document which antibiotic functions with what type of infection.  They are not a magic bullet, one type can be worthless when treating any given infection.

We don't endorse or recommend any of these but provide them for comparisons only.  Again, do your research.
