How would backpackers and innawoods type folk deal with shit like ear infections while off the grid or vagabonding?

Any sort of preventative methods? Or is it up to luck and voodoo not to get raped by bacteria.

Knowing voodoo helps. Or how to make medicine.

Go download some herbal medical books from your area, and "where this is no doctor"

I have no doubt some among us would drip honey in to their ear. I carry two kinds of antibiotics. One for skin or cut kind of stuff and one for ear throat internal shit infections. One full course each.

Olive oil is an antibiotic, it can work if dripped.

Pretty much >>541926

Once upon a time people lived with natural remedies, and the average lifespan was 40 or something. Get proper antibiotics and bring them with you, or get the fuck outtawoods and go see a doctor.

Got a bad infection living in the woods last summer, not so much inside the ear, but the ear itself swelled up massively. I went into civilization and to the doctor.

There are some medical conditions where you drop what you're doing and seek medical help preferably from a hospital. An ear infection is one of them. It only takes one guy who thinks he can tough it out for a few more days to make an emergency due to high fever, loss of hearing and vision, and the inability to balance one self also known as not being able to fucking walk.

Average lifespan back in those days was horribly skewed by infant mortality rates

some sort of herbal extraction dripped in the ear. Maybe coconut oil because it has lauric acid which is antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal.

Even when controlled for infant mortality the rates were still low on average.
That is not to say that there weren't plenty of people that grew to old age, just that odds are in favor of a early death more often then not.

Either roll the dice and accept the risk of serious complications/death or go to a hospital. Depends on the problem I guess.

>Any sort of preventative methods? Or is it up to luck and voodoo not to get raped by bacteria.

For ear infections only thing you can do is avoid colds and viral URIs. Wash hands, don't put pens stuff in your mouth, etc. In kids the viral infection is usually what messes up their Eustacian tubes and allows bacteria from the mouth to get into the middle ear and grow.

It's a lot of luck/voodoo.

>pick flowers from mullein. pack them in a jar as much as you can fit.
>add olive oil. fill to the brim. less air the better.
>shake it once a day. helps if it is gently heated. keep out of direct sunlight.
>after a couple weeks strain out flower. put oil in clean jar.
>few drops in ear morning and night.
the flowers come out a few layers at a time. pick the ones that have flowered and the next day some fore will have popped open. if you cant find a lot of mullein or dont have the patience to gather the flowers everyday then you can chunk up the whole flowering part of mullein. though the medicine wont be quite as effective.

another method an old indian guy told me. you can do the same oil method with red willow bark. also get a pipe and smoke some of that willow. get a mouthful of smoke then using a small hose blow the smoke into your ear.

i believe you should be able to find both items online if you cant forage for them.

Acquire broad spectrum antibiotics now, take innafield. I get azithromycin from eBay. It worked well for a skin infection and strep throat. Obviously use antibiotics sparingly.
