Obviously don't take animal medicine for covid, but perhaps this is a little overblown: "MSDH says 85% of callers had mild symptoms, but one person was instructed to see a doctor."
That reads to me that they got 7 calls about this and one was referred to a doctor. That's the spike.
- xtracto 5y agoIvm is a REALLY safe drug with years and years of safety research and application. In some countries they prescribe it to children to treat lice. Or for yearly deworming. Of all the crazy things that people could attempt, ivermectin is pretty mild.

Even if they try to adjust the dose, they have to do conversions and weigh it. Some people will mess up the calculations and OD. That's why the pharmacy just tells you to take 2 pills twice a day. That's not to mention the fact that the quality control of veterinary medicine is far lower and the concentration may be significantly off.
