I have some ivermectin in the house. Bought the paste they give horses and zapped my kids' lice with it using it topically (TMI I know, but lice are a major problem where I live and pretty much every kid gets them.)
I'm sorry, I'm getting a tad ticked off. Now there's another drug that works withing 2 days. What the hell. This is madness.
Don't apologize. We should all be angry.
Which drug?
