For those of us that need a touch up on our history of medicine, Penicillin marked the beginning of the antibiotic age. It was discovered in 1928, as Alexander Fleming noticed that the bacteria in a petri dish full of Staphylococcus colonies were not able to grow in a tiny section of the mold.
Once Fleming was able to isolate the source from the mold, the medical world was never the same.
Doctors could now treat conditions like pneumonia and rheumatic fever, which were previously considered death sentences.
A byproduct of the Penicillium fungus, Penicillin has a formula that can actually be made at home. And if you have the ingredients ready for a SHTF situation you won't have to ever worry about running out of medicine post-collapse.
In fact, take a look at the next page to see what that formula looks like!

Ya really easy to do since half those ingredients would be next to impossible to source, and or identify, even not during a crisis!

Oh yeah we’ll be able to do that when shtf
Pet store.
Aquatic antibiotics.
In small jars.
Longer shelf life.
Vacuum sealed.
Three common types, cillin cipero and sulfa.
Avg 17$us per unit.
1 to 2 oz. Powder.
Mixes easily with Tang breakfast drink which speeds Vit.C –
Excited to see if ^Tim pulls this off….
I’ve read a lot of blogs and info on this and have seen testimonials of ingesting the moldy orange rinds and it working.
Make sure you are not allergic to mold,or it’s liable to be the last thing you ingest
After the collapse? Heck, if you can find that equipment and chemicals after the collapse….. It would probably be easier to find the petstore drugs or a pharmacy (which has probably been raided for pain killers but maybe not antibiotics which aren’t locked up 😉
Seems to me like a risky idea. cAn you guarantee that it won’t be contaminated by something that will make you sick?
Penicillin has a tendency to turn me a greyish blue color. I’m out.
Me too!
Survival Betty ??
We maybe gonners John.
I have seen it, but never tried to make it. Thanks for the tag! 🙂
Eff that…..laukahi…..kills staph…..strep and uti…..diabetes…..
Martin, are you confusing penicillin with colloidal silver?
Nope. I’m deathly allergic to penicillin.
My guess is that if we can still get ice for the ice bath, and we have electricity for a fan…we can still go see a doctor.
I let a loaf of bread get moldy but I’ve never seen such a yellow color before. Usually greenish black when it turns.
Martin Benton So’s my brother…..
My uncle was also. Penicillin and bees.
All you need is a bunch of lab glass and a decent chemical supply inventory. Sheesh!

Its why I have opted for mild silver protein
It works better than penicillin
Is available now in high concentration
And is stable for 12 or more years
Invive.com
I have used it to treat ear nose and throat conditions
As well as infection with my animals
oh good,let make mold spore penni bwahahahahaha let me know your results.99%of the$#%&!@*out there now Penni won’t touch,kind of useless fortunately I have other stuff
Can’t take penicillin.
Packing a wound with bread mold will help prevent infection too.
Large Animal Vet. Pills are made for 100lb increments. Very cheap.
And they say this scientist stumbled upon penicillin by accident now that’s a crock of crap if you look at all the variables this would be impossible to create by accident

s**t I’m going to die!
Kayla Frayser pretty cool
How about some PRACTICAL solutions? This is ridiculous and not reproducible in a shtf scenario.
You need a fing chem lab to do this
Dee Cooper
Cassie
get ready

Exactly what I do
Pet store aquarium antibiotics. It’s what those in the know use. I always have. There stronger than regular antibiotics as they must be soluble for tanks. Pennicillin, amox, tetracycline etc.

I can envision after attempting this recipe, I might wake up hearing some old creepy guy shouting “It’s alive!”
Fish amoxicillin or Amoxicillin from Mexico 100 tabs for $20.00
I think I will probably die.

So, when the SHTF, you just need to order up :
Lactose Monohydrate 44.0 gm
Corn Starch 25.0 gm
Sodium Nitrate 3.0 gm
Magnesium Sulfate 0.25 gm
Potassium MonoPhosphate 0.50 gm
Glucose Monohydrate 2.75 gm
Zinc Sulfate 0.044 g
Manganese Sulfate 0.044 gm
But if someone is allergic to it which is very common what then
Lol. I like the disclaimer at the very beginning of the article: “you should not attempt to make your own penicillin”. I think that says it all.
You can buy antibiotics and even tetanus shots at a horse supply store for a fraction of what they cost you at a pharmacy
