Be very careful how much you take: https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2021/0...

Remember that the in vitro study that gets cited a lot used a concentration that would be lethal in humans.

Poison control center calls are not poisonings. There were no significant increases in hospitalizations due to ivermectin. It's a fear-mongering article.

googling for "ivermectin hospitalizations" shows actual hospitalizations from ivermectin.

Maybe they are not "significant" enough for you.

Anyways, I've seen enough "iver" posts on [1] to keep me away from it.
