We use injectable ivermectin on the alpacas once a month, since we live in white-tailed deer area and they carry a parasite fatal to alpacas.
Good luck finding it now. Since this came out, it’s off the shelves in the farm stores and not available from mail-order vet supply sources.
We will have to switch to Dectomax for next month’s worming and I sure hope that doesn’t have an ingredient that hits the news.
BTW I would not inject myself with a vet med but you can bet some chucklehead will do it.
I actually took some two days ago. Green apple flavor paste I bought at TSC. I feel a lot better. The only side effect so far was a temporary partial blockage of vision as a worm in my right eye that I didn’t even know I had was dying. The trick is not to overdose. I’m a 250lb man and I only took a half dime size amount.
It’s actually pretty safe. It has a high overdose level in horses. Horses are very sensitive critters and you would really have to overdose one to even make it sick. I have ingested it many times. Not on purpose of course but trying to get the paste into some goober’s mouth. I once got half of a 1200 tube in my mouth. Ended up swallowing most of it. I didn’t get sick. It is really a great drug for lot’s of external parasites and such.
why would an intestinal dewormer cure a bronchial virus?

Because someone is wanted to get attention.
It’s an analthemic, meaning ot just paralyzes the parasites. They cant reproduce. Im not so sure how that works on a phage virus?
But I do know from personal experience that it doesn’t hurt you to take it at 5ml/100lb. Of body weight. At least the kind formulated for swine.
That idea feels like cannibalism, doesn’t it? Lived in Germany for a few years, where they think eating horse meat is just fine.

It is just fine if you’re starving to death. In fact eating the meat of any mammal is fine if you’re starving. I once ate the meat of a Porcupine (see below).

Ivermectin can rid someone of scabies. The dose is 4 6,g tablets for 200 pound man ... trust me, it worked.
But when they watched American GI’s eating corn, they looked on in disdain.
Apparently corn is a food for pigs.
Dose is 4 6MG tablets before breakfast, for a 200 lb man. The tablets are available for treating dogs.
Many many moons ago ( I think Korean War era) the Aussies were going to have the American Admiral of the Pacific Fleet to a fancy dinner. They called the Admiral’s ship and asked what the Admiral liked to eat. When the return mentioned corn on the cob, the Aussies didn’t ask how to prepare it, so when they were cooking it they kept pulling out a cob and testing. They cooked it until it could be sliced through with a fork.
“Kills” a virus?!?!?
A virus isn’t even alive, you can’t kill it.
It’s a protein DNA wrapped in lipid fat. You can destroy its integrity as soap or disinfectant does by melting its lipid “skin” , bug you can’t “kill” something that isn’t even alive
While what you say is technically true, to the general public, what you state is irrelevant. All they care about is, does it eliminate, kill, the threat in their bodies, or not?
I got the paste, it turns out to be a bit cheaper. I have used it before as well with my dogs.
It’s life, just not life as we generally know it, having no character or personality and certainly no spirit. It’s organic, contains the building blocks of life; it’s parasitic and can replicate, although replication requires a host [but then so do mosquitos!]. It just isn’t, as far as anyone can tell, sentient. There is no nervous system, and they seem to serve no other purpose than to degrade and destroy. In short, it’s some kind of Democrat.
It’s not life. It doesn’t consume, it doesn’t even reproduce. It is RNA ie a plan that gets into cells and the cells make copies of the plan.
Just like computer viruses, a real virus is not alive.
It is used around the world where there is nasty things in the water.
thanks- I’ve been reading on it and they’ve said that the dose needed in order to combat the virus would be far higher than the doses recommended on the package of equine stuff- the article about this combating the virus is likely talking about injection of the stuff- high grade stuff perhaps- i also note that it says to avoid if one has liver issues-
Yes, I had tried to calculate the human dose needed to achieve the concentrations in the tissues that were used in the study. Like probably wrong calculations give me a dosage of something like 4000 ng per kilogram which is at least twice the dosage that’s ever been used in a human. So I’m not holding my breath. But there are indications that doses more in line with what a human could take, can have beneficial effects for someone infected with the virus.
