I remember them looking like this (and how I can’t help imagining internet bots):

En masse, they’re super gross (warning: disturbing photo):

I unfortunately was in the Spring Hill area last fall for a funeral, but I did inquire at a pharmacy within a large grocery store about IVM...they just stared like they never heard of it...

Scroll down a bit till you see the Ivermectin info. You will have to fill out a form on reason for wanting it (exposed to covid, active covid etc) and your weight. Reasonable price, USA. Have used the site and found reliable. Located in Hixson, Tn.
I found it through the FLCCC site :https://covid19criticalcare.com/pharmacies/
Ivermectin.com ships from the U.S., no Rx required, but I believe it’s manufactured in India. A lot of folks I know have ordered from them and have been satisfied with the product.
Here’s a list of a number of places from which to order IVM, no Rx required. All of them except Ivermectin.com are in India. I’ve ordered from all of them excepts Grant Pharmacy and Ivermectin.com. All products were made by reputable manufacturers.

His last trip was in 2022. I’d never consider it today.
But it also echoes my concern for spurious sources.
I’m mad as hell. It shouldn’t be so hard to get a cheap, legal, non-opiate medication.
A mexican pharmacy isn’t even in the same universe as an Asian (supposedly) based website.
Seniors have been traveling to mexico for decades to get cheap healthcare and medications.
Thanks for that. I’ll check it out.
“I know at one point in time, the USPS was confiscating packages from India and don’t know if that is still the case”
The first place I ordered from said that if your package didn’t make it because of customs, they would send another one.
That’s a good idea to check other medication’s, that’s some thing you wouldn’t get with a pharmacy out of the country.
The main reason I wouldn’t want to buy from a local pharmacy is that my name would go in a register somewhere. Like it isn’t there already but I don’t need one additional thing. LOL. It sounds like it’s a collaboration between the Compounding Pharmacy and the Tennessee state government. Not sure I trust them since it’s full of RINOS, along with the other good guys. But you never know when the balance will switch.
This link has a list of Tennessee pharmacies that will sell ivermectin. It’s not real big

ohhhh. True: super gross!
Just pull a Mike Adams and buy the injectable version (for your livestock, of course) from a farm supply, then do the math and put it in your smoothies.
Yes they are! I loved animals and wanted to be a vet in the worst way, so I braved helping old Doc Butler with the horses. It was so gross when those things came shooting out the horses’ noses and sometimes all over me and they’d stick to my shirt. Ugh. I hated that. And I felt so sorry for the horses, too, but glad we were getting those things out of them. I was more than willing to put up with it to help the horses and learn from Doc Butler.
If you read this short blurb on the mechanics of Ivermectin you can start to wrap your head around why a drug may react so differently between two people.
Most have no clue as to their genetic issues with p450.
I still can’t wrap my head around exactly what I am suppose to do with all the variants I have not only in p450 but also the transporter genes
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33719007/
If you have your raw data you can upload to Genetic Genie and they will show you some of your drug gene issues.
It is possible Elvis fell victim to some of the same issues with P450
btw, if anyone know of what genes keep NSAIDs from working please post it. They barely do anything for me. I need to come up with something that will work. Doctors look at you like you are a drug addict when you are in the hospital telling them you need more OXY because you are in pain and the pill they dose out like it is gold is not working.
Next time I will present my genetic report..LOLOL
So it sounds like you didn’t become a vet in the end...?
We watched Doctor Pol quite often. I had to stop because I felt so sorry for the poor animals and their owners.
Sounds similar to Ann Barnhardt’s (sp ?) method :)
I kind of gave up on becoming a vet for a weird string of reasons. Tennessee didn’t have a vet school at the time. You had to apply to Alabama (Tennessee had a deal with them and no other state) and there were scores and scores of applicants for each of the seven places allotted to Tennessee students. I worked hard to keep up a 4.0 average in high school, but after I met a guy who had got his BS at UT with a perfect 4.0 and had worked as a vet tech for seven years while waiting for a spot at Alabama (!), I almost totally gave up on the idea.
Then I took high school chemistry and the teacher was a complete nut who started at the back of the book and well, he was a total loon. So I told myself I wasn’t cut out to be a vet after all if chemistry was so nutty. I passed okay because he gave thye answers to the exams in Latin on the back of the exam paper, so if you could make out Latin, you could score okay. All the kids who did not know Latin got bad grades, even the really smart ones.
My Dad (who had a PhD in chemical engineering) was livid about the teacher. He had wanted to send me to a private prep school, but I begged him out it of because I knew it would be a hardship on my family and we had just returned from living overseas and I wanted to be with my old friends again. Dad was right, as always, and I should have gone to the prep school.
Wouldn’t you know they opened the UT Vet College just when I finished high school but had already developed an irrational fear of chemistry? Oh well, that’s life. I made some dumb decisions in high school, but it all turned out okay in the end. I was probably better suited for what I ended up majoring in anyway.
My cat had a bot. Saw the vet take it out
A stray cat turned up at my house with a botfly larva in her throat. It was so horrible. The thing would sometimes poke its head out. I took her to the vet and she removed it. She said it was called a “wolve”. I’m so sorry that happened to your poor kitty.
The ones that get into cats (and dogs and squirrels and rabbits, etc.) are larvae of a different genus of botfly from the “bots” that infest horses. The ones in horses are inside their stomachs, and there can be gobs and gobs of them.
