other austere settings where modern medicine is non-existent. Our unique

how to obtain and use them safely. The aquatic and avian antibiotics
described in this book are known to be essentially identical to the
human versions, and are available over the counter for emergency storage
and preparedness. This is a one of a kind book.Homesteaders,
outdoorsmen, medical missionaries, ocean voyagers, those in remote
areas, and folks in the preparedness community will find this book an
indispensable tool in circumstances where the ambulance is not just
around the corner. We discuss common and uncommon infectious diseases,
as well as how to identify and treat them with antibiotics. Fish
antibiotics, as well as a limited number of bird antibiotics, are

Altons’ original writings on both common and epidemic diseases and the
use of aquarium and avian antibiotics to treat them. Written in plain
English that anyone can understand, this book will help the family
caregiver save lives that would otherwise be lost to infection. This
book is the companion to “The Survival Medicine Handbook: THE essential
guide for when medical help is NOT on the way”. The Survival Medicine
Handbook is the popular reference book for the preparedness community,
as well as all those that wish to be medically prepared for
disasters.Alton’s Antibiotics and Infectious Disease also teaches how to
put together an effective sick room for epidemic scenarios. A thorough
list of recommended medical supplies is provided to help the family
medic to prepare for just about every first aid emergency.It should be

punishable by law. Medications marked for veterinary use should never be
used in any situation where there is a functioning modern medical
system. Dr. and Ms. Alton are both certified Advanced Wilderness
