Many Americans are facing problems with ivermectin because they are not using the versions of the drug prescribed by doctors.

Instead, many are finding their own over-the-counter solutions, most notably going to local feed stores and buying medicine meant for horses, cows and sheep.

Prescribed versions of the drug come in pill form, while these versions are liquid.

The dosages are also much larger, meant for an animal that can weigh over 1,000 pounds, not a person that can weight less than one-fifth of that.

Taking doses too large can cause a person to have nausea, body pains, diarrhea limb swelling and other serious side effects.

In more serious cases, a person could overdose and suffer severe damage to their central nervous system, and potentially even die.

Some conservative figures have called for the drug to be used in Covid treatment regimens, though.

Sen Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican and early proponent of the drug, had his YouTube channel suspended in June after claiming the drug could treat Covid.

Fox News’ Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham have also promoted the drug as a treatment for the virus.

Sen Rand Paul, a Kentucky Republican, said that the only reason further research was not being done into the drug’s effectiveness combatting Covid was due to hatred against former President Donald Trump.

Anyone who takes the full horse syringe - clearly marked for a 1250 lb horse! - is stupid enough that death might help the gene pool of the human race.

It seems tey are trying to equate a treatment issue with a dosage issue.

Red herring. You measure your dose based on your own weight, you don’t take the dose for a horse.

Hmm, the sheep drench we use has the dosage by body weight of the animal. Could it be that this article is propaganda meant to dis-sway people from looking for alternatives to the Big Pharma solutions?
