The only reason I keep Facebook is for unhinged stuff like this
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”
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.
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.
This is my friend’s very most favorite internet article

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.
Yeah those things all just mysteriously “became” political.
We’ll never be able to truly know who made “black pilots” political 🙄

Interesting as fuck. Not something you’d expect as an outsider.
(Not the one who down voted you, I dunno why someone did that) what do you mean by as an outsider? Just that you don’t have rosacea? :)
It would hilarious, and sad, if it eventually becomes a controlled substance over abuse concerns.
God I fucking hope not lol. Its available over the counter at a lower percentage as a lice cream which is actually what I use since my insurance doesnt want to cover soolantra and its ridiculously expensive (like a tube of topical cream is more than $150 with goodRX)
I have no idea why the prescription is so expensive but its reputation for being unaffordable and hard to get insurance to pay for is pretty well known by people with rosacea. The lice cream from the Walmart store brand is like $25
You know what they call alternative medicine that actually works? Medicine.
When the heart started failing dostors became a good choice lol
The problem is that’s not actually alternative medicine. It’s medicine, just misused.
The dose makes the poison. Medicine is about more than just what you’re consuming.
“So you don’t believe
In any natural remedies?”
Maybe let a doctor decide on what your body really needs, not the price of the bottle?
Ask your doctor if Zombocom is right for you!
You can be anything with Zombocom.
Welcome … to Zombocom. Welcome!
My voodoo doctor recommends it!
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.
You can get tested for parasites wtf
Why do you know whether or not doctors check for parasites? Are you a medical professional or otherwise associated with the profession?
Oh, what do they know anyway?
The doctor is a reptiloid, it knows everything, but it wonct talk with a straw man, only with a sovereign homesteader
so he double dipped on antiparasitics, mebedezol is the other one.
Find somebody who looks at you the way conservatives look at ivermectin.
So my dog when I’m making steak for dinner.
More like a rampantly-inbred bag of oops at the dog park when another furry fuckup is shitting out something delectable.
Horrific, anyone have a good explanation for what I went through?
Well, it wasn’t a high quality educational system, that’s for sure.
🤣🤣🤣
Sir, you are not a horse
There is no face in the picture …
I think what this guy needs is more ivermectin.
It’s got what horses crave
Water? The stuff in the trough?!
Probably just forgot about the bleach injection first…
and injection of hydroxyquinilone.
Not mention colloidal silver.
And a nomination for the annual Herman Cain award.
The way I gasped when I read the word ivermectin.
I want to jump out of my highschool window after smoking angel dust sometimes. Anyone have a good explanation for what I went through?
Totally normal. Your body is just releasing all the toxins you’ve built up over a lifetime of not smoking angel dust.
“only objective understanding”
Too late. Should have started with that, dumbass.
Exactly this! They started from some emotional/political/vibes-based treatment that didn’t work because obviously, then suddenly they want to be all facts-driven when they could face some criticism for gumming up our healthcare system with their nonsense.
lol. Ivermectin is still being ingested by humans in 2026…
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.
As in all the other living being on this planet, stupidity in human being should also/usually be fatal and not coddled with ambulances and health care.
Yeah this is a waste of healthcare services for sure.
You know they voted in a way that made that ride expensive and will just go ahead and vote to make it even worse
Show the YouTube videos to the EMTa to educate them!
It’s polite to warn the people responsible for saving your life that you’re gonna be a frequent flyer
This is why vets don’t give heartgard to new patients unless you do a heartworm test first.
OOP probably has heartworms.
All his worms died at once and clogged his shit up.
Can brain worms cause the same thing?
Wait. Can someone explain to me what just happened? I just googled those two meds and both are anti-parasites… What is happening here? Why are that expensive and why did they took them??
He is a parasite, obviously.
They could be trying to get rid of worms or some other parasites, since that’s the only prescribed use of ivermectin and mebendezol in humans. But it’s given in careful doses, not DIY from a bottle from a “wellness company”. So who knows what they’re trying to do.
Flipflops with jeans is all you need to know.
It’s really not. I wear flipflops with jeans with some frequency but still manage to believe in real medicine, and especially don’t believe that pairing two antiparasitics (one not approved for human use) is a cure-all or even a vaguely rational treatment for anything other than being riddled with parasites.
Why not wear shorts if it’s so hot? Glad you’re sane otherwise ;-)
Btw, I’m only joking about all this. I went to college when that look first took off. I’ll never do it, but that’s just me.
So close to a Darwin Award.
A failed Darwin award attempt.
Take a larger dose next time.
We don’t do ivermectin but I did find a giant supply in the fridge behind the emergency beans. Is that of concern
