Best not to do this, even if you get hold of some.
1.You might be allergic (Abs are good at this)
2.Every drug has side effects
3.You could knock off your normal bacteria and end up with the squirts or Thrush
4.Not all Abs work against all bacteria - need to know what you are treating then choose the appropriate drug
5.Widespread use of Abs encourages more virulent strains to develop, then we need to develop stronger/more toxic abs to fight them
