In a nustshell, this is why we need to do away with the FDA.
The article says that the dose for head lice will do it.
The dose for head lice is already known, already determined to be safe.....so no testing is needed.
Interesting that in liquid form, it can be adminisered by mouth, injection or applied to the skin when treating cattle, dogs and horses.
Mouth is preferred except for cattle and there is a fortified dose for cattle that is injurious to other animals and fatal to dogs.
Anyway, no testing is needed if the head lice pills are to be used....if this article is correct.
By the way, it will cure your worms. That was its original purpose.
It is found in just about all horse, dog and pig wormers but can and will kill collies. land a few other shepard breeds.
Very interesting.
Universally wonder drug. Dose dependent toxicity. Certain dogs have defective gene mutation making them susceptible at STD doses.
Interesting, and valuable, that you mention this.
I was having this same general conversation with the manager at the local farmers co-op last Saturday. I told him that I'd seen several articles that stated potential for Ivermec as a covid19 remedy. He relayed the tale of a local farmer who was worming cattle. A couple of the farmer's dogs lapped up some of the spilled wormer med. The border collie died the next day. The other dog, not sure of breed, but not a collie, was unaffected.
