Out of curiosity, does anyone know how effective IV is against roundworm and other parasitic worms that could be hanging out in humans? I do not think I have any of these, but have recently had raccoons poop in my yard a few times now and know they can carry harmful roundworms and I am worried about my children. Any advice on dosage, if raccoons are really an issue with roundworms etc is appreciated. I am no expert so any medical advice from experts is appreciated.

Any parasite in any mammal can be killed by ivermectin. When people with horses (like me) use ivermectin it is to kill ALL kinds of worms. And also, as a bonus, it will, taken internally, keep flies from laying eggs in any open wound on a horse's skin, as they like to do when there are scratches etc. (If there is anything around to injure themselves on, horses will find it) So using it during high insect seasons is a great preventative in general.
Does it kill Pinworms (common in children) also??
