“Calls to poison control centers regarding ivermectin use in humans have increased 5-fold since the beginning of the pandemic, as its use has been found to be harmful to those who have consumed it.”
A. Prior to the pandemic I would assume that human consumption of Ag grade ivermectin was extremely rare, making calls to poison control regarding ivermectin also extremely rare.
B. A call to poison control does not necessarily mean a case of poisoning.
C. It is extremely difficult to overdose on ivermectin. A person taking the entire tube of Ag ivermectin - a dosage for a 1250 lb. horse - may experience an upset stomach.
D. If they were really concerned about potential ivermectin poisoning then they would not discourage the dispensing of it under doctor supervision.
Media lied about hospitals being overwhelmed because of
Ivermectin users.. They are probably lying about calls to poison control, too.
