They can be preserved with a brine and fermented. There are several YouTube videos about it.

Lime curd. You can put it in fridge or can in jelly jars by water bath method.

Differen cream. It’s OTC. Also Selsun Blue shampoo, the sulfur kills the bug. Ivermectin if it’s a result of demodex. Plain lye soap.

Inhousepharmacy.vu out of New Zealand. I’ve been ordering from them since 2007.

CDC site talks about Tetanus being in manure “Causes & How It Spreads: Tetanus is an infection caused by a bacterium called Clostridium tetani. Spores of tetanus bacteria are everywhere in the environment, including soil, dust, and MANURE.” So it makes sense that unvacinated horses are more likely to spread the toxin. Instead of asking for proof of being right, do your research to prove her wrong, instead of just arguing with her.

Please do research on Grazon poisoning before you use animal manure.

I use the water troughs. I’ve had them for years. I wanted to expand this year, but they’ve tripled in price. Makes it maddening!

All day chemist says you need a prescription. The prices are cheap. How do you get around needing an Rx?

I’m a PharmD. All medications are marked with a code, even veterinary and fish antibiotics. Vitamins and neutraceuticals are not.
All drugs including veterinary drugs are made in the same factories as humans drugs, just the labels are changed.
Almost all penicillin is made in China or India.
If you can help it never, ever take a drug made in China. They are notorious for adulteratation. India has had issues in the past also.
The majority of our drugs are manufactured in the UK/Ireland, and Germany under strict controls.
The problem with treating infections is we don’t always know which bug we are dealing with. Not all antibiotics are the same.look up drug sensitivity charts for your area to get a little help in a SHTF scenario. Otherwise always go to the doctor.
Never take cipro with a steroid. That’s the interaction that causes the rupture. I argue with providers about it often. Children under 18 should never take fluoroquinolones.
Tetracyclines have an expiration date. They will physically degrade into a harmful substance. They should not be given to children until all permanent teeth have erupted.
NEVER EVER take a tetracycline with a penicillin class drug. They antagonize each other and cause treatment failure. I argue with providers about that one also.
Augmenting has some issues with liver failure. New studies have been coming out.
Penicillins still work for most strep infections.
Macrolides can cause QT prolongation and afib. If you are taking other drugs that can do the same, don’t take together without an EKG.
If you are allergic to Penicillins you may also be allergic to cephleosporins.
Clindamycin can cause C-diff infections. If you are taking it, and experience severe diarrhea, stop immediately!!
Metronidazole can cause a disulfuran reaction. Never, ever take it with alcohol. Don’t even wash your hands in alcohol or cook with it. We used to give it to alcoholics so they wouldn’t drink.
Certain antifungal and antibiotics are inhibited by a low acid environment. If you are taking proton pump inhibitors, or H2 blockers, or Tums or other vitamins like potassium, magnesium etc. The drugs won’t be absorbed.
That’s your pharmacy education for the day. If you don’t like something I said, do your own research before arguing with me. Show me the latest literature regarding the issue. Be sure there are no conflicts of interest in the studies you present.
A rule of thumb is to never take a drug less than 10 years on the market. It takes that long before we know all the side effects.

Army did a study way back during Desert Storm to determine the shelf life of drugs past expiration dates. The majority of tablets and capsules remained good to take. Tetracyclines, suspensions, and injectables are the exception. Keep all your old drugs. Don’t throw them away. The expiration date is usually the date the Rx expires unless you are given the stock bottle. The expiration date is how long the manufacturer studied it and can guarantee it’s effectiveness.
