      It’s polite to warn the people responsible for saving your life that you’re gonna be a frequent flyer

    Maybe let a doctor decide on what your body really needs, not the price of the bottle?

    It’s irritating that ivermectin now carries the stink of weird alternative medicine people. Its really helpful for treating rosacea (for which it is approved by the fda as a topical prescription drug, under the name soolantra)

    Like its a perfectly useful antiparasitic and antiinflammatory, but now it will always just be “that weird horse dewormer that dumbfucks take”

      Hey, it’s a perfectly reasonable solution for humans suffering from parasites. Just because some idiots take it for other things doesn’t reduce its usefulness as a drug for humans under specific conditions.

        My personal theory is that a not insignificant number of the people who took it and felt better outside of normal disease progression curves just had worms too.

          Makes sense to me. I mean the odds that people that stupid are also riddled with parasites from ingesting shit crawling with parasites are pretty high.

    Horrific, anyone have a good explanation for what I went through?

    Well, it wasn’t a high quality educational system, that’s for sure.
