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

Totally normal. Your body is just releasing all the toxins you've built up over a lifetime of not smoking angel dust.

Taking the appropriate dose of ivermectin for your body weight should be fine, it's effective at getting rid of parasites. And doctors really aren't the thing for that, unlike vets they're not really checking if you have parasites since most people don't.

This is why vets don't give heartgard to new patients unless you do a heartworm test first.

Why do you know whether or not doctors check for parasites? Are you a medical professional or otherwise associated with the profession?

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"

With the screw worm on its way back, we might need it pretty still.

I've had plenty of physicals, and a fecal sample was never part of them.

In developed nations, testing for worms isn't needed unless the symptoms point towards worms.

It's kinda like how they don't check you for polio or the bubonic plague as part of a regular visit either.

Just about everything has been turned into a political issue in the last decade. Medicine (not Healthcare... modern medicines/drugs themselves), beer brands, avocados on toast, beef, eggs, children's films/books (that's not new, I guess, just hitting new levels recently), gas stoves, holidays, black pilots, etc.

This is my friend's very most favorite internet article

https://www.phillymag.com/news/2018/08/11/mayonnaise-industry-millennials/

It is about how millennials are ungrateful, unpatriotic mayonnaise haters. It does not appear to a joke article. It fills her with so much joy lol.

I’m convinced that conservatives wake up in the morning and just choose something to be mad at. Green MnM losing her high heels, gas stoves, Starbucks, avocado toast, etc.

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.

The problem is that's not actually alternative medicine. It's medicine, just misused.

Holy shit 🤣

My son Jake, who’s 25, eats mayo. He’s a practical young man who works in computers and adores macaroni salad. He’s a good son. I also have a daughter. She was a women’s and gender studies major in college. Naturally, she loathes mayonnaise.

So if your worried about parasites, get tested, don't just randomly poison yourself. Even here in vietnam they don't randomly injest poison because of a suspicion.

I think the tragedy is the mom not realizing that the mayo on the shelves today is for the most part only a distant relative of the "oil and egg yolk emulsion" she used to eat as a child.

That is, Millennials are justly rejecting a 100% chemical mix supposed to taste like a natural food, but whose ingredient list looks like a who's who of food processing science, while it makes her fondly remember something that spoiled quickly if not eaten after opening. You can't blame the young'uns for not having your memories.
