A lot of people have asked how Ivermectin actually works against Covid.
It makes small changes to importin a-1, a messenger protein that is the gatekeeper to the cells nucleus, or control center, which is where the virus wants to go to implant its code so the cell starts reproducing viral particles.
These small temporary and safe changes mean that when the COVID attaches to the importin a-1 to allow it access to the nucleus via the nuclear membrane, the unchanged importin b-1, which is the nuclear "bouncer" waiting for the password provided by importin a-1 and its guest, does not recognize a-1 and therefore the virus is denied entry into the nucleus. Game over.
So I made up a handy mnemonic device to help you remember: ivermectin is Importin.
So if anyone asks, now you know.
There are other ways it helps but the importin a/b disruption is one of the biggest.
For my parents it was always mercurchrome that cured everything lol remember that stuff?
That and Merthiolate. Hey lets use a mercury based product to treat out kids deep cuts. Geez, wonder any of of lived.
And how many times did you have fingernail polish on your balls to kill the redbugs?
NEVER.
LOL not talking about painting ones entire sack, just a small dob where the red bug was.
Fingernail polish on the balls was the going treatment when I was a kid. I have no idea who came up with that. It supposedly smothered the bug so he could not breath.
Turns out it was probably no help at all, as the chiggers did not burrow in at all.

We had merthiolate.....both direct applications of mercury to the skin. Wish I'd known back THEN.....
