SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA, Okla. (KFOR) – A rural Oklahoma doctor said patients who are taking the horse de-wormer medication, ivermectin, to fight COVID-19 are causing emergency room and ambulance back ups.
“There’s a reason you have to have a doctor to get a prescription for this stuff, because it can be dangerous,” said Dr. Jason McElyea.
Dr. McElyea said patients are packing his eastern and southeastern Oklahoma hospitals after taking ivermectin doses meant for a full-sized horse, because they believed false claims the horse de-wormer could fight COVID-19.
“The ERs are so backed up that gunshot victims were having hard times getting to facilities where they can get definitive care and be treated,” he said.

Does rural Oklahoma even have rural hospitals?
BS so thick it's straight out of the Babylon Bee!
People who take meds without reading is kind of a self correcting problem isn’t it?
4chan is probably more reliable than that site! LOL
The FLCCC protocol for your circumstance is what you should follow.

.2 -.6 mg/kg a dose.
Notice how they make it all the “dumb southern rednecks”?
What a laugh. the "paste chemicals" are an inert carrier. It's as edible to humans as it is to animals.
Not as many as Chicago.

How do full ERs make it hard for gunshot victims to get to the ER anyway? When the ER fills up do they send orderlies out to put up roadblocks on the roads leading to the hospital?
I bet he enjoys giving a thorough prostate exam.
How many doses per day, for how many days?
Actually they are marked in 50 lb increments. Move the collar three increments for a dose for a 150 lb. person. The dosage per lb. is the same for humans as it is for horses.
Some of them could run the quarter mile in record time.
sorry I checked my durvet ivermectin paste and it is marked for 250 lb increments to 1250 lbs, .21 oz/6.08 gr
Med establishment could help by telling people how to measure the right dose with each product that contains only Ivermectin. The dispensers are beautifully marked and calibrated. It would be trivial to show three or four different brands (e.g. Duramectin) and explain how to correlate positions on the little plunger to body weight. Further, the length of the dollop could be easily specified.
So the public “health” (illness) agencies are 100% to blame for overdoses.
I am sure there are numerous instances of differing views by users, providers and doctors.
Ie: Dr. Shane Speights with The New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine says the paste can cause several problems. “Let’s say it was manufactured for a large horse, but a human takes it, it can create low blood pressure, rapid heart rates, seizures, there are even episodes where you can see layers of your skin fall off,” said Speights. “It can damage the liver, and there’s vision loss that can be associated.”
The side-effects of horse paste in humans is going to be a continuing story. The connection to intestinal damage is a new one. I think the federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) knows enough to have concern. They have a simple message: “You are not a horse, you are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”
Ivermectin for animals is flying off the shelves and livestock ranchers are having trouble finding enough to treat their animals.
When it gets to site reviews and consumer ratings, it can get worse than a reaction to parasite medication. LOL!
Fair enough.
The brand I bought is Eqvalan and the plunger is marked for every 250 lb.s but has indents on the plunger at 50 lb. intervals.
> “You are not a horse, you are not a cow. Seriously, y’all. Stop it.”
You could be a bull, because that’s bullshit.
The drug was created to treat humans, and that’s still a prevalent or predominant use.
“Does a human being have an intestinal track that tolerates 113,750 mcg of horse paste ivermectin?”
According to government studies? Probably. As they point out, it is “well tolerated and safe” at TEN TIMES the dose the FDA approves of. I’m not saying one SHOULD take an entire tube, but unlike drain cleaner in a garbage disposal, worming paste is MEANT for the digestive tract.
Besides, they come with dials for weight. It isn’t rocket science unless one is a doctor in Oklahoma.
