This is not true at all. Ivermectin has some nasty neurological effects (vertigo, seizures, blindness) at high doses.
- naasking 5y agoWater can also cause death at high doses (hyponatremia). Literally everything can. The difference between medicine and poison is in the dosage, so saying ivermectin is not safe because it causes health issues at high doses isn't really saying anything.
- loonster 5y agoThe dose makes the poison. At the usual dosages that Ivermectin is given at, it is considered to have no toxic effects (with the exception of those that have a severe Loa Loa infection).
