    I am not an expert in Antibiotics but have some specific points.

    Cipro and Doxy - I think are still the initial treatment of choice for your Biological Warfare agents - Anthrax, Plague, Tularemia, Brucellosis, Q Fever, and a few others. I believe these are the Anti-Bacterials that are still in the National Pharmaceutical Stockpiles and Push Packs.

    When I came home from Africa with Malaria I was given Cipro (against my wishes for the reason above) and immediately had no more S/S.

    The military combat pill packs include Moxifloxacin as their Anti-B of choice. My daughter had a pretty bad ear infection and when the doc showed me the literature on the infection, the only Anti-Biotic that was shown to work was Moxi.

    Again no expert, just experience with that listed above.

    Some folks, like me are unable to take any cillin.
    For me it was (amoxicillin) a rapid allergic reaction. Had been the prescribed anti-biotic for decades. One day the reaction i had nearly killed me, had i not sought medical attention when i did.

    Cipro can or has shown signs of the diseases it works on becoming strain resistant, Not the way i mean it, hopefully someone can clarify.

    One warning on any of the mentioned units. IF you had to Bug OUT and for some reason taking them, cover yourself very well.
    SUN SENSITIVITY is one side effect and sun / UV exposure can & will take you down very quick.

    you sure it was malaria and sure it was cipro? ive never heard of using cipro for plasmodium parasites. ive seen tetracycline back in the day, doxycycline and clindamycin, but not cipro. strange.

    what do you mean exactly that moxi if their drug of choice? for everything for for a specific infection?

    if i ever get time ill sit down and try to organize it clearly. last time i was in a rush and right now my job is killing me slowly as well as trying to find land to buy. ill try to get something up soon though.

    as a quick note doxycycline and tetracycline are probably the best in general for biowarfare agents. they cover the majority of the common agents.

    And we wonder why the "bugs" are becoming more resistant! I use the term bugs very loose.
