How is that ironic? It's primary use in humans is versus parasites. It's a godsend against scabies...
(Which I had at the beginning of the pandemic, my doctor casually mentioning "it also has known anti-viral properties")
- hinkley 3y agoI know someone who is using it topically for rosacea. I guess some forms at least are a reaction to mites. So bye bye mites.
- MOARDONGZPLZ 3y agoI don’t think ironic is _quite_ right, but it does mean paradoxical, and it’s somewhat paradoxical that ivermectin is being effectively used in humans here for bedbug treatment when you consider the juxtaposition against the far right wing conspiracy theories that it would cure covid in humans but instead only harmed people.

I find your assertion that it only harms people curious given that the studies that I saw showed that it actually helped quite a bit in third world countries. Of course, those people may have been infested with parasites and cleaning that up may have helped them overcome covid as well
