That was a fascinating article! Thank you.
In a recent post, I wrote that I thought there was anecdotal evidence that my weekly ivermectin dose since February may have helped to reduce my seasonal allergies this past spring and summer. I had no idea how right that was. FTA:
Asthma
A 2011 study investigated the impact of ivermectin on allergic asthma symptoms in mice and found that ivermectin (at 2 mg kg−1) significantly curtailed recruitment of immune cells, production of cytokines in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluids and secretion of ovalbumin-specific IgE and IgG1 in the serum. Ivermectin also suppressed mucus hypersecretion by goblet cells, establishing that ivermectin can effectively curb inflammation, such that it may be useful in treating allergic asthma and other inflammatory airway diseases.
