At the very least, I stock Liquipen here. Mostly for the pets, but I
have used it on myself successfully!

It's cattle penicillin (injectable) and I buy it from the feed store.

So long as one is not allergic to it of course! Tetracyclene water
soluble is also widely available from veterinary sources. A lot of stuff
is resistant to that tho' so I don't bother with it any more.
