I've got a weird case here in The Netherlands about mebendazole. These are pills that kill intestinal parasites, which is important for my child who is at the age where they touch everything and anything, and then suck their thumb. Mebendazole has been sold out for about half a year now. I had two strips stashed away, and I needed those for my child. Only last week, I could buy new ones.

It’s one of the drugs that is said to be useful in treating COVID. https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/newsroom/articles/year-2020/three-approved-drugs-can-curb-covid-19-virus-replication.html https://www.utsouthwestern.edu/newsroom/articles/year-2020/t...

Interesting. Are you using it prophylactically? Is this common in The Netherlands?

  No, perhaps my wording was unclear. It's an on-demand thing. The kid complains about itchiness, I give her a pill.
