High Ivermectin Overdosages Caused 1,143 Calls to America's Poison Control Centers This Year
America's poison control centers are getting more calls this year from people who tried self-medicating with ivermectin, NPR reports — with at least 592 calls coming since July 1: According to the National Poison Data System, which collects information from the nation's 55 poison control centers, there was a 245% jump in reported exposure cases from July to August — from 133 to 459. Meanwhile, emergency rooms across the country are treating more patients who have taken the drug... Most patients are overdosing on a [high-concentration] version of the drug that is formulated to treat parasites in cows and horses... The National Poison Data System says 1,143 ivermectin exposure cases were reported between Jan. 1 and Aug. 31. That marks an increase of 163% over the same period last year...
In Mississippi, which has one of the lowest rates of vaccination against the coronavirus, the state Department of Health issued an alert about the surge in calls to poison control in August. The department said that at least 70% of recent calls to the state poison control center were related to people who ingested a version of the drug meant for livestock. Minnesota's Poison Control System is dealing with the same problem. According to the department, only one ivermectin exposure case was reported in July, but in August, the figure jumped to nine. Kentucky has seen similar increases. Thirteen misuse calls have been reported this year, Ashley Webb, director of the Kentucky Poison Control Center, told the Louisville Courier-Journal. "Of the calls, 75% were from people who bought ivermectin from a feed store or farm supply store and treated themselves with the animal product," Webb said. The other 25% were people who had a prescription, she added.
"You are not a horse. You are not a cow. Seriously, y'all. Stop it," the FDA said in a renewed warning late last month.
Those with a prescription from a health care provider should only fill it "through a legitimate source such as a pharmacy, and take it exactly as prescribed," the agency instructs. It also cautioned that large doses of the drug are "dangerous and can cause serious harm" and said that doses of ivermectin produced for animals could contain ingredients harmful to humans. The agency added: "Even the levels of ivermectin for approved human uses can interact with other medications, like blood-thinners. You can also overdose on ivermectin, which can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hypotension (low blood pressure), allergic reactions (itching and hives), dizziness, ataxia (problems with balance), seizures, coma and even death."
At least two more states — Louisiana and Washington — have also "issued alerts after an uptick in calls to poison control centers," according to a health writer for the Associated Press: By mid-August U.S. pharmacies were filling 88,000 weekly prescriptions for the medication, a 24-fold increase from pre-COVID levels, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Meanwhile, U.S. poison control centers have seen a five-fold increase in emergency calls related to the drug, with some incidents requiring hospitalization.

This is what we were talking about. It's at the very least completely irresponsible to advertise unproven drugs as miracle cures, especially those available over the counter.
It's really no different than snake oil of the past, and it causes very tangible and measurable damage.
they didnt turn liberal, they just weren't enough for the Rs to stake their whole agenda on so the Rs sold them out to appease the base. And unlike the idiots who vote against their own interest, they are upper middle class for a reason, so they probably aren't stupid
Madcow pimping that vaccine and feeding idiots like RandomGay
What have you got against the vaccines, Qhris?

Trump said you should take them.
DMC's premise: Theists cause most of the grief on society.
The 2 potential paths for theists:
1. Continue being a theist and causing grief.
2. Give up theism and now be against theism
^^ This is worse ^^
People have died waiting for care because of COVID in more than one instance, so I lol them I guess.

They are upper middle class because their parents were. They are struggling to live up to the standards their parents set financially and they've sold individuality for group think comfort. Fortunately for them there were theology classes to save them from actual degree courses, sprinkled with some business courses obviously.. can't have Jr working at Starbucks.

Whinehole "They should get vasectomies!"
also Whinehole "It's bad because it results in reduced fertility"
Two different statements, two different topics.

Your wife's pussy was annexed right out from under your nose. You've nary room.
Infertility huh? Sounds like we should be encouraging them to take it.
And they'll blame being breathed on by people who took the vaccine for it
maintaining a foolish consistency is DerpMC's bog-level standard of integrity
