Across the country, demand for ivermectin has peaked as some believe the drug will cure COVID-19, despite the fact that there is no evidence to support that claim.

Must be the same people that wrote stories after the 2020 election that said some believe the election was fraudulent, despite the fact that there is no evidence to support that claim.

Thanks!

That was a good primer on how to use Ivermectin for horses and how to buy it. :)

Good Lord. I spent 90 seconds on Wikipedia this morning and found that ivermectin is a well known, tried and proven treatment for parasites in HUMANS. Human life would be a LOT more miserable without it. God I HATE “journalists”. What they don’t know would fill the Pacific ocean to overflowing.

I check their score also, anything less than 3, I run fecals because there are other causes of anemia. I rarely have to worm them but when I do, I don’t mess around.

I use http://waddl.vetmed.wsu.edu/ for Johnes, pregnancy and any other blood tests, requires being able to draw blood.

I have had mixed results with the WADDL Johne’s ELISA test. Drawing blood is no problem, but the ELISA test for sheep can throw false negatives. We had one animal that skinnied right out. She was isolated, and after euthanasia an analysis of tissue samples confirmed Johne’s.

A PCR test using a fecal sample seems to be a reasonable test, well at least for sheep.

It wouldn’t be in high demand did it not work. It is used for humans, also. The dosage is different and is actually based on body weight, specifically for bodies over 200 pounds.

That’s no good. I’ve never had any issues here but I keep a closed herd and any new animal gets quarantined for a month and all tests run.

A friend of a friend just used it successfully. He came down with the WuFlu, a test confirmed it, and took some horse paste ivermectin along with zinc and vitamin D3. He was over the worst in a day and feeling better.

Sure, pal, just keep your eyes closed and keep penning these articles and you'll never see anything.

yeah, but mfgs or regional suppliers stock is based on prior sales. Triple or quad the sales, and either there’s a shortage until demand subsides, or the mfg decides to retool to produce 4x the amount. It’s not a moneymaker and it would cost more to up production than would pay for retooling, so the more likely result will be shortages and ticked off ranchers

Yup, it was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine because of its use in HUMANS. Anything that says otherwise is either a knave or a fool.

The medical establishment is partially to blame for people buying this drug in paste form with no doctors dose prescription.

The medical profession is TOTALLY to blame.

The concentration of Ivermectin in the apple flavored horse paste is identical to that in a Mayo Clinic article and in an Indian study on treatment of COVID in humans - 1.87%

Yes, one complete tube will treat a 1250lb animal. However, the plunger of the tube is graduated at 50 lb (body weight) intervals.

He came down with the WuFlu

I called it COVID-2024, and got banned from a forum.
