Yes, but parasites are something people are always exposed, at risk of.
So running a repeat course every couple of months isn’t a bad idea, the ounce of prevention jazz.
Just too bad many have swallowed a lie its harmful.
I agree! Once a month would probably be good for a person. We gave it to our horses for years and never had a problem. My dogs all take it for heartworm prevention.
One day one of the electricians at worked called and said he wouldn’t be in. His wife put his vitamins of the day out beside the dogs ivermectin heartworm pill. He scooped them all up and took them.
When he realized what he had done he called the doctor AND the Vet. Both laughed and told him he would be just fine because it was “just Ivermectin” and perfectly safe.
When I started reading that the Ivermectin horse paste was safe to take, I didn’t doubt it. I bought several tubes until I could find some human pills (if I could). I took one for the team and did the 8-week protocol of one dose a week without any issues. That’s when I noticed I felt better. I wanted to be the guinea pig just in case what I read was wrong, but it was fine.
For now, I’m continuing prevention with the Black Seed Oil, but once a month or so on the IVM sounds do-able.
A few weeks ago someone posted that his lady rancher friend takes Ivermectin once or twice a year because she’s exposed to so much animal “stuff” daily.
I have been thinking more about what you said about parasites.
As Americans, we have become used to clean water, good hygiene, etc. and think nothing like parasites can happen to us like they do in 3rd world countries. How would we even know? Doctors don’t check for parasites during your annual exam. It’s assumed that it doesn’t happen here.
Why wouldn’t it. A good portion of Americans are rural. We raise livestock, have house pets, and work in the soil.
We eat vegetable we grow but most people buy them in the store. Most of those vegetables come from very unhygienic countries.
We hire migrant workers that weren’t raised with the hygiene practices most in the country were.
I mean, it’s very possible that people in this country have parasites but with our better overall health our immune systems keep the damage at bay, as far as we know.
I started taking the horse paste once a week in February because I was preparing to travel. I reduced my dose to twice a month in August and have suffered no ill effects ever. I have a supply of the pills now too (from India) but have been giving them to friends and family who are leery of the animal version. I initially bought 10 tubes of the paste so I’m still taking that, injected into gelatin capsules, since the taste isn’t that great. It seems to be very safe in all forms.
