Is "lol" an emotion?

"Please don't point out that I made a huge mistake and should have known better"

Mebendazole and ivermectin combined to 275mg? The typical ivermectin dose alone is .2mg/kg, so a 180lb/81.5kg person would only take 16-ish mg. So this person took way more ivermectin than needed for a parasitic infection (and stupid for taking it without one). Mebebdazole is 100mg/x2 a day, so this is more than double the dose for a single recommended pill.

Just in case anyone wants to know how much not to take.

Almost as if it were designed for the weight of a small horse...

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

i think ever since covid ivermectin has become a magical cureall for idiots, and the more the betterer as far as the dosage goes.

Pity it isn’t curing us of idiots.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But what if they had 17 parasitic infections to remove?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

TBF, we don't know, if they were dense enough to be taking that, we don't know where they've been.

This dude knows his horse dewormer...

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

It's also a human dewormer, or many other kinds of parasite. At proper dosage it's generally a very safe drug. Two things.

  1. Ivermectin is a drug that costs cents to make 100s of pills. If you're paying $500 for a bottle... They saw you coming.
  2. Don't buy medications from scammers. See point 1.
[–] casualvagrancy@lemmy.world 2 points 23 hours ago

Fake. Not the right price. Not the right dosage. Not a likely reaction even at that dose.

If “alternative medicine” worked, it would just be called “medicine“.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

George Carlin from the grave: By calling it an 'alternative' you are directly implying that it is not the actual thing.

[–] homes@piefed.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I miss that guy. Can you even imagine what he would have to say about the first Trump presidency, let alone the second?

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

As for the second i'd imagine the quote "are 51% of you really that fucking stupid? Colollary: If so, how do i sell so many tickets?"

The first is more interesting. He was no fan of the Clintons, but he would have torn the M.A.G.A. slogan to shreads so many ways. The nazi stuff would have tipped the scales in the end.

[–] Senal@programming.dev 36 points 2 days ago (48 children)

Im all on the "listen to the medical experts" train.

There are however some medicines and treatments that legitimately started as "alternative".

A lot of it is horseshit though.

Also modern medicine isn't infallible(nor the people that practice it).

Statistically though, it's fucking high magic compared to most internet sourced diagnoses.

[–] Mediocre_Bard_Redeux@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Also modern medicine isn’t infallible(nor the people that practice it).

Have friends in the medical field, a lot of time they are just sort of trying shit and then are happy it worked.

[–] Senal@programming.dev 28 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Medical science is just that, medicine that follows the scientific method. (Or at least it's supposed to).

The scientific method is basically testing guesses (sometimes educated ones) and seeing what happens.

There's a whole lot of structure and guidelines, but testing guesses(hypotheses) is where it's at mostly.

The current state of any science is usually "the best theory we have right now, given the data and resources available to us"

Some people hear that and think "look, they're just guessing, why should I listen to them?" and thats absolutely valid.

Where that falls down is that they then go on to assume all guesses are equal and ignore the time and resources that went in to that current scientific best guess.

Is it always correct? no, is it more likely to be beneficial than a random social media post by an influencer with no medical expertise? Generally yes.

I've actually met a lot of people who know a lot about what happened to him. Theres an entire industry and field of academics dedicated solely to it and places of business in pretty much every town across the nation for it.

They're called Doctors.

[–] volore@scribe.disroot.org 45 points 2 days ago (1 children)

WOAH WOAH WOAH careful with those emotions, buddy, they asked for objective understanding! Don't you know that means rejecting the expertise of the people who spent their entire lives studying the human body and what ails it; and believing unquestioningly the medical advice of the Oompa Loompa rapist pedophile in chief (and his pal with brain worms)?

The amount of people taking antiworm medicine who support a worm brained health guru is too high.

RFKjr is not worm brained!

$500 bottle of ivermectin!?!?!

Somehow, that's the worst part of this to me -- somebody got hugely ripped off. I regularly need to buy ivermectin for actual horses, and it's $10-$15 for a horse-sized dose. And this dumb motherfucker spent $500 on a single bottle?

Depending on his weight that could be quite a high dose of ivermectin (the normal dose is 0.2mg/kg) but that seems like an extreme reaction.

I see three possibilities:

  • He's very light weight and sensitive to the drug
  • He's having an allergic reaction
  • He actually did have a parasite infection and he's having a Mazzotti reaction.
