An anti-parasitic drug, delivered on a mass scale, can prevent potentially dangerous bacterial complications of scabies, according to a study.
Scabies is a contagious skin condition caused by a mite that burrows into the skin. The highly contagious disease causes itching, which can lead to complications such as severe skin infections and serious bacterial infections, bloodstream infections, kidney failure and heart disease.
Ivermectin has been used for decades in the treatment of parasitic infections. After the team of researchers proved ivermectin mass drug administration can be used to prevent the transmission of scabies, Dr. Li Jun Thean administered the anti-parasitic drug to over 130,000 Fijians to help prevent bacterial complications.
For the study, ivermectin was administered to the whole population of the Northern Division of Fiji, which involved two doses of oral ivermectin or topical scabies cream, delivered alongside treatment for lymphatic filariasis, another parasitic disease that Fiji has been working to eliminate through mass drug administration.
The findings found that community-wide administration of ivermectin not only reduced the burden of scabies, by treating and preventing the disease, but also reduced hospitalizations and presentations to clinics for complications usually associated with the disease.
The research team reported that, after the intervention, hospitalizations for skin and soft tissue infections due to scabies decreased by 17%, and primary healthcare presentations by 21%. Additionally, the number of people in the community with scabies and impetigo fell by about half.
About 200 million people have scabies, predominantly in resource-poor settings which contributes to 0.21% of disability. We aim to better treat scabies with our intervention in this region and hopefully reduce the number of people with scabies worldwide," he said.
In 2015, research by the Fiji Ministry of Health showed that community-wide ivermectin treatment was able to reduce scabies prevalence by 94%.

Ivermectin, ‘Wonder drug’ from Japan: the human use perspective Feb. 10, 2011 - ncbi.nlm.nih.govDiscovered in the late-1970s, the pioneering drug ivermectin, a dihydro derivative of avermectin—originating solely from a single microorganism isolated at the Kitasato Intitute, Tokyo, Japan from Japanese soil—has had an immeasurably beneficial impact in improving the lives and welfare of billions of people throughout the world.
(snip)
There are few drugs that can seriously lay claim to the title of ‘Wonder drug’, penicillin and aspirin being two that have perhaps had greatest beneficial impact on the health and wellbeing of Mankind. But ivermectin can also be considered alongside those worthy contenders, based on its versatility, safety and the beneficial impact that it has had, and continues to have, worldwide—especially on hundreds of millions of the world’s poorest people.
The ‘Rat CDC has not totally banned the use of Ivermectin?
Have I mentioned lately that Democrats and other leftists are evil, malicious, malevolent people?
Ping.
You can get Ivr as a horse paste at farm supply stores. I’ve been taking this once a week for a year and have had no adverse effects. Haven’t had the China virus either, thank the Lord.
“Ivermectin - It’s not just for horses.”
Darnit, you beat me. I was going to note that Ivermectin only works on horses, so whoever is claiming this needs to be SILENCED.
That is why we could not get it.
Oh, I am so confused.
good for mange on dogs as well...

essential as asprin.
Ivermectin has been available in 3mg, 6mg, and 12mg tablets from Merck since 1981 for treating human river blindness. It’s in use in many countries all over the planet, except the USA for treating Covid. It saved my neighbor’s life.

Emory University has a very prestigious medical school. The Dean of Emory Medical School has Indian heritage, and co-wrote an article in the Times of India advocating using Ivermectin against Covid, among other things. This has gotten =ZERO= coverage in US media, including his hometown paper, the AJC, and his hometown news network, CNN.
Try to convince me that isn’t newsworthy - both his original article and the non-coverage of it by US media.
Link to the article discussed above, and Emory’s leadership page.

The infographic there is excellent. Summary: The parts of Africa where Ivermectin is in widespread use to prevent a terrible parasitic disease, African River Blindness, also have very low Covid incidence.
Interesting Twitter account that has linked many Ivermectin and other med studies on Covid treatments.
