In conversations with people here and elsewhere, one of the things pointed out to me was that humans are about the only critter that humans come in contact with that don’t get regular dewormings. Think about it - dogs, cats, horses, cattle, the list goes on.
I started giving the dogs horse Ivermectin, properly dosed (I can do basic math), because it’s like 1/10 the price of the doggie heartworm pills (key ingredient, Ivermectin). They get it monthly. I take an appropriate amount (enough for a 200# “horse”) quarterly, or if I’ve got a viral thing going.
It’s got a safety profile better than Tylenol, I strongly believe based on the literature. Can’t be much harm. Big chunks of Africa take it for prophylaxis against African River Blindness. If it were harmful, we’d know about it.
Oh, I totally agree with you that it’s safe to take. I just haven’t for whatever reason.
