More people are poisoning themselves by taking unproven Covid treatment Ivermectin
Publicly released:
International
The Oregon Poison Center has received a massive spike in the number of calls for ivermectin poisoning, with 21 people phoning in August. Six people ended up being hospitalised after using the drug to prevent Covid-19, and three had been prescribed the horse de-wormer by medical professionals. Ivermectin has been shown to decrease coronavirus replication in the lab, but randomised controlled trials on humans have shown no benefit in preventing or treating Covid-19.
