[Mississippi] Poison control calls spike as people take livestock dewormer to treat COVID-19
KY3 ^ | Aug. 20, 2021 | Shyra Sherfield

The Mississippi State Department of Health sent a health alert Friday warning health care providers about a drug used to deworm livestock that some are using to treat and prevent COVID-19.

According to the alert, the Mississippi Poison Control Center has received several calls related to the ingestion of ivermectin meant for livestock, which is causing illness in COVID-19 patients.

Ivermectin is approved for use in both people and animals, but animal drugs are highly concentrated and can be highly toxic in humans.

Read the whole report. It’s nothing !


Yep.

Right on time.

They realize TOO many people are on to this treatment, and, on to THEM, and aren’t buying what they’re selling, any more.

I’ve heard from several medical experts (here) that horse paste is fine. Just hop on the livestock scale. /ducking

that’s the apple flavored paste, there are a number of bulk liquid preparations for food mixing and other animals, as they say you cant fix stupid so they should add prepper warnings that tell how to keep humans safe.

That certainly could be, but if you go to a place that specializes in horse care, you will see several brands that combine ivermec and praziquantel.

I aged out of horse sports about 10 years ago so my memory of what was available then might not be accurate.

However I have owned horses, cattle and hunting hounds for many years and have used ivermectin on all.

I much prefer the liquid as with a syringe it is easy to measure for 10 lb. variations in weight.

As for it being dangerous, it may be but I probably have dosed 50 gallons of it and never had a problem.

Note that I did not say I drank 50 gallons.

But I am reminded again of the days ivermectin was new and people got the idea of dosing dogs with horse wormer, as at that time it was not labeled for dogs.

Mention to a veterinarian that you were going to give it to your dog and he would rant. You will kill the dog. The dog will go blind. The dog will become a zombie, mentally retarded. NEVER GIVE IT TO A DOG! Leave it here and we will worm it with the right stuff.

So people would leave the dog and the vet would take it to a back room and give it ivermectin.

Don’t ask how I know, but I do.

Now it is recognized by all as safe except for a few breeds, especially collies and a few others.

So we are seeing the same thing today, except with humans rather than dogs.

There may be variations, for horses, that have additional drugs with the Ivermectin. Anyone intending to use Ivermectin for horses should read the package carefully AND look up the Material Safety Data Sheet online and read that carefully too.

I did notice that there are other horse de-wormers that are an entirely different drug than Ivermectin and they come in similar packaging with the same type of syringe. Attention to detail is crucial.

I don’t know anything about the formulas for other animals so people should do their due diligence if they are considering using any of them.

>> 85% of the callers had mild symptoms.

Caller: “Doc, I’m not feeling so well”

Doc: “What are the symptoms?”

Caller: “My throat feels a bit hoarse”

People are not dosing properly. If you take to much Tylenol then you die. The sheeple will are so gullible to propaganda.
Who’s fault is that people can’t get the medication all set for the proper dose?

Ivermectin & hydroxychloroquine are over the counter in most of the world.

I use the Ivermectin-in-tube paste for horses. It’s easy to avoid the variants.

Not being able to dial the exact dosage with a tube is fine. It’s a very forgiving drug.

If you’re feeling at risk, take Ivermectin with food: no more than once every three days.
