    Maybe let a doctor decide on what your body really needs, not the price of the bottle?

      Taking the appropriate dose of ivermectin for your body weight should be fine, it’s effective at getting rid of parasites. And doctors really aren’t the thing for that, unlike vets they’re not really checking if you have parasites since most people don’t.

            So if your worried about parasites, get tested, don’t just randomly poison yourself. Even here in vietnam they don’t randomly injest poison because of a suspicion.

            There is currently a parasite all over the US causing explosive diarrhea.

            Sorry to break it to you, but we gutted the shit that protects us from shit like this. So get used to it.

        Why do you know whether or not doctors check for parasites? Are you a medical professional or otherwise associated with the profession?

          I’ve had plenty of physicals, and a fecal sample was never part of them.

          In developed nations, testing for worms isn’t needed unless the symptoms point towards worms.

          It’s kinda like how they don’t check you for polio or the bubonic plague as part of a regular visit either.

            So you’re a lay person with no expertise or insight into the signs they look for to determine if checking for parasites are necessary?

            I’ve had a bunch of physicals too and I don’t think that qualifies me, in any way, to comment on medical standard practices.
