Found this posted on another board, under the title..."Do pour on wormers work"
My better judgement tells me not to tell this(my judgement has been very poor here lately), but here goes. I was sent to an orthopedic doctor one day. All of the seats lined around the walls of the lobby, and then the center seats were backed up to each other. So I sat down where there wre no people behind me. The lobby started filling up, and before long, most all of the seats were filled. Two kids sat right behind me. Soon, I went to the back to be seen by the doctor.
When I got home, my face was itching. I thought it was a hair hanging from my face. But then it felt like it was on my nose and on my neck.
I find a mirror that magnifies and a magnifying glass. And low and behold, there is this little creature crawling on me, and he was moving on pretty fast.
I get on the internet, and find out that head lice move fast. and got the bug and looked at it closer. It looked like the tip of its butt was black. This was the same thing that I found on me.
I started itching all over. (in my mind) I jumped in the shower and washed my hair nine million times and when I got out, I still felt something crawling. Make me sick thinking about it now.
I went to the closet where I keep cattle meds, and got out the pour on Ivermectin. I remember the vet telling me that they used this wormer in third wold countries where the internal parasites were severe. But, I also knew that the pour on wormers would get rid of lice on cattle.
So..........I poured some in my hands and rubbed it all over both of my arms. Probably enough for an elephant. Then I washed and vaccumed and vaccumed everything. And cleaned some more.
The ivermectin worked fast. No more critters.
I cannot believe that it worked as fast as it did, and most of all, I cannot believe that I went this long in life and had never had any kind of lice. And it really pi**ed me off that I had to go to a doctor's office to get them. It made me feel so nasty.
Felt no ill effects from the overdose(2-3cc) and probably got rid of any internal parasites from the dog licking the roof of my mouth when I was laughing hard. I hate it when he would do that.
So, I guess I am trying to say, yes, it seems to work just fine.
