Don’t Overdose on Ivermectin like I did
🐴 SHITPOST 💩
So there I was, a syringe of the horse dewormer from Tractor Supply Co for $12.99 in one hand, a spoonful of no-sugar-added peanut butter in the other hand. I over dispensed the amount I was supposed to take onto the spoon of peanut butter. It was enough Zimecterin for a 250 lb horse, but I’m only 200 lbs! I waited for a couple of hours, and then that’s when it all started.
Nothing. Nothing happened from me taking an increased amount from the recommended dosage for horses and it’s been around 16 hours. Nothing yet, at least. Here’s to hoping this annoying case of blepharitis goes away and the pimple-like bumps on my scalp stop coming up. Will probably take some more in a couple of weeks in case any babes are hatched inside of me.
You're good.
I've been taking it for about 5 months now, once a week at that dose.
Still alive, feel as normal as always, maybe a bit better but I've also started on some other stuff too, so :P
If you're going for acne, Ivermectin doesn't seem to do anything for it.
However, here's what I've found does help:
The goal isn't to prevent breakouts, but to prevent them from getting hard and embedding themselves. Doing the above keeps them loose and easy to pop. The petroleum jelly helps heal the scarring twice as fast and keeps the peroxide from evaporating, which then floods the pore and dilutes the oils. It's been working well, but doesn't solve the problem of pore enlargement.
The primary reason acne occurs is because the pore has gotten too large. It's too large because the sweat/oil producing gland has gotten overly productive. It got overly productive because of a previous infection. You can shrink the pores by turning off the oil production for a month or two, but at great risk to other bodily systems that also rely on oils. A medication that turns off the oil production is isotretinoin. I've used it, and it is very harsh on the body, but works well. DO NOT USE IF YOU HAVE BLOOD PROBLEMS! Especially rectal blood problems. It's very expensive and is controlled under a referral prescription scheme, because money.
Recently I've started taking homeopathic sulfur for acne. The science is similar to benzoyl peroxide, but it's less harsh and works internally when taken under the tongue. Tastes like the bottom of a donut. I'll keep you posted if it comes up again how it's working for me.
Hope this has been helpful.
It's not acne as it is reoccurring pimple-like bumps on my scalp. I shampoo my hair every day, am relatively clean (for a 20-something year old dude), but the bumps keep coming back and are tender/hurt and they itch sometimes. Ends with me scratching my scalp a lot. They generally reoccur in the same area too. Still looking into this, thanks though.
Gluten intolerance, sorry, stumbled upon this while searching for ivermectin info. You have a gluten intolerance, possibly dairy Take grains out of your diet for 2 or 3 weeks, if no change then do dairy.
Ehh, I try to stick to keto as much as I can, so Im not eating many grains in general. In terms of dairy, maybe a glass of milk/day or a gallon/9 days. I think everyone is lactose intolerant to some extent once you get to a certain age.
Try giving up the milk. Just for 2 weeks. I mentioned this because my daughter had the same thing, on her upper arms as well. I started a paleo based diet many years ago to heal inflammation and Lyme's flare ups. My family jumped on board for support. 2 weeks in all was healed. She strayed after a few months, it was a pretty strict diet for a teen, and it came back. It hasn't gotten as bad as it was, she eats A LOT less grains and dairy these days. And yes, I do believe we are not meant to consume the milk of other mammals. Dairy, grains and sugar are big government and Monsanto. Stay away!
