For Cutaneous Larva Migrans "I took it last night and promptly after 10 times to the toilet lost the contents of my stomach and diarrhea. I am being careful. Not eating much. And washing all the glasses I use. Wash my hands more often too. I hate to be sick."

For COVID-19 "My husband (48) and I (44) took Ivermectin trying to protect us from Covid. Side effects were awful: stomach pains, nausea, diarrhea, and my husband had really bad blurred vision and dizziness. He stopped taking it after 3 weeks because of side effects. I hoped it would work better than it did, but we both still got Covid 4 weeks after starting Ivermectin. My son, who refused to take Ivermectin since he was vaccinated for his job (mandated), didn’t get Covid, although he is currently staying with us. I think it was all for nothing since we’re both still so sick after 16 days, and my son didn’t have any of these side effects with his vaccine and also didn’t even get sick! Worth noting that the ER doctor said my husband was already weak and dehydrated when he got Covid-19 since he’d been having diarrhea for weeks before, from the Ivermectin. I don’t recommend taking Ivermectin, it didn’t keep us from getting Covid, and we are still really sick with Covid."

For COVID-19 "I am a 38-year-old female and took ivermectin for 9 days. I would rate my experience as 1/10. I started ivermectin 2 days after getting a positive COVID-19 test. I don’t think ivermectin works at all! I have pneumonia, and I can barely breathe. I can hardly walk, and I can’t keep food down and literally feel like death. I have literally been having diarrhea, nausea, and sometimes throwing up since I started it, and so I don't know if it's from the COVID or the ivermectin, but on advice from urgent care, I stopped it today to see if maybe I’m having a bad reaction. This sucks! I can’t believe I’m still sick at almost 2 weeks. Can’t hardly move or anything. I’m taking steroids, albuterol, and antibiotics now. I know I’ll get crap for it, but I’m getting the vaccine ASAP because this hasn’t done anything but make me MORE sick than I probably would have been with just COVID by itself!"
