What Are The Repercussions Of Accidental Ingestion Of Tetracycline From Some Cattle?
yeah I was mixing up some tetracycline for some cattle with pink eye,,,,,, I used a water bottle, to mix the powder, then poured it into the water trough..... my question is, I was not paying close attention, and when I picked up a water bottle I was drinking from, it was the wrong bottle. I got a swig of the antibiotic meant for the cows...... I spit it out, but is it okay,,, I m not going to kill over from accidently drinking cattle antibiotics am I

Hello,
I don't think you have ingested much tetracycline since you spit it immediately.
I think there is no possibility or risk that you may die from ingesting cow tetracycline.
It is the same antibiotic that humans take expect it may have larger dosage.
You didn't swallow it but spit immediately so there is no risk of overdose.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
