A mosquito is parasitic, it seems to be a broad spectrum parasite killer. Super neat
Ivermectin is a cat flea treatment, that's what I first remember it as. One tiny drop on the back of the cat's neck and the fleas that bite them die from neurological poisoning.
It's not suitable for Collie dogs though.
I used ivermectin sheep drench on a horrible infection on one of my rabbits had in her ears. Its was really bad. In less than 24 hours … gone. Completely gone.
In Canada they use selamectin which is a derivative of Ivermectin. But yeah they use it to rid lots of animals of parasites pretty regularly.
Ivermectin, I believe was created from Avermectin which was identified in a Japanese soil bacterium. Kinda cool.
I'm on it at the moment so no insect had better bite me!
Small win haha
