First the article says this: "Growing up in a small town, rural area, we've all accidentally been exposed to ivermectin at some time. So, it's something people are familiar with. Because of those accidental sticks when trying to inoculate cattle, they're less afraid of it," he said. And then the article says this: McElyea said, however, that people are suffering real ramifications from taking a dosage meant for a full-sized horse, including "scary" instances of vision loss, nausea, and vomiting.

This makes no sense, and when a thing makes no sense it isn't true. People who are accustomed to dosing their livestock with ivermectin would also know it's dosed according to weight. I know this because I have horses and have had to set the applicator dosing amount to different horse weights. Ergo, these same people would not be so stupid as to dose themselves with the entire applicator in one fell swoop.
