There is a good chance I am infected with covid. I was in close contact with a family who came down with it (at least teste positive when they did get tested) a day after I visited them. Six days later, I started having various symptoms. I am now in the 4th day, and my fever is up to almost two degrees above normal. It had either been no more than one degree high, or even slightly below. I am developing more of a cough now and am considering the Durvet "horse paste", but when I obtained the MSDS for this product, it seems pretty scary. Here are the precautions:

: H302 - Harmful if swallowed. H361 - Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child. H373 - May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. H402 - Harmful to aquatic life. Precautionary Statements (GHS-US) : P201 - Obtain special instructions before use. P202 - Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P260 - Do not breathe vapors, mist, or spray. P264 - Wash hands, forearms, and other exposed areas thoroughly after handling. P270 - Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P273 - Avoid release to the environment. P280 - Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, and eye protection. P301+P312 - If swallowed: Call a poison center or doctor if you feel unwell. P308+P313 - If exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention. P314 - Get medical advice/attention if you feel unwell. P330 - Rinse mouth. P405 - Store locked up. P501 - Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local, regional, national, and international regulations.

I am VERY reluctant to now try it because of these precautions. These precautions were developed for this product long before covid, so it's not like they put this on there to discourage use for covid treatment. Are we being fed a big lie on the safe use of this version of ivermectin?
