Already on it. I've gone the prophylactic route there.

I've gone the same route. It's nearly impossible finding a Dr willing to prescribe it for anything covid related so I went to Tractor Supply and picked up my own. It's cheap and works amazingly without artificially altering DNA.

I have a couple questions if you don't mind. What form is the Ivermectin horse dewormer in at Tractor Supply? Is it pills, liquid, something else? And can you just walk in a purchase it even if you don't own horses?

Thanks for helping a pede out! We've had a huge uptick in positive COVID cases and deaths here. Frankly, I'm pretty skeptical of the numbers, but I should have gotten on this well before now and I didn't.

I recently purchased the Durvet Horse Dewormer (https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/durvet-ivermectin-paste-187-608-g?cm_vc=-10005) it's Apple flavored and one tube is good for a 1250lbs horse and it's marked in 250lbs notches.

Here's a video about human dosing with the animal version https://youtu.be/AexpeCn08n0

Thank you so much! Nobody will deliver this, so it looks like a little road trip is in my near future. Worth it, though.

Thanks, again, for the info.

It’s heart worm medicine for dogs. Also for mange. Also horse dewormer.

I’d you buy equine strength, available over the counter, it is hundreds of doses worth, just measure for your weight. Better to let a doctor prescribe it but you have options.

I've done the math. The equine tubes are about 8 doses.

I'm taking the risk on the FDA-approved veterinary product. They feed that stuff to $1,000,000 racehorses. I'm fine, I'm 3 weeks in at this point.

Good enough for million dollar racehorses, and billion dollar pedes too. Be well fren.

We used to take dog antibiotics for varied ailments. It's the same stuff, just branded for a different species/with a different dosage. No real risk, even when it's not for $1,000,000 racehorses.
