Depending on the circumstances, fish antibiotics could be a big part of your preparedness plans. It’s important to note though if you plan on having or using antibiotics, you need to understand when they will work, the damage they can do, and the correct dosage.

Some people think that antibiotics have no negative effects,

but this isn’t true. Using the wrong antibiotic or using an antibiotic when it

isn’t necessary can cause more problems down the line.

Antibiotics have played a major role in battling life threatening infections over the past century, but the over usage of antibiotics today or miss usage of antibiotics can cause them to be ineffective.

These days our doctors have the equipment and knowledge to figure out what the best possible antibiotic might be. In a SHTF scenario, fish antibiotics might be our only option. 

SPP280 Replay: Prepping and Fish Antibiotics (Part 2)

This week we have part 2 (listen to part 1 here) of the prepping and fish antibiotics series Lisa and I did a couple of years ago. In this episode we went over some scenarios that may occur, and what antibiotics may help. 

We also covered why it’s so important to understand why antibiotics work, and when they may not. If you plan on storing fish antibiotics it’s crucial that you understand as much as possible about how they work.
