I know. Those people are idiots who can’t adjust a dose on top of taking a med that doesn’t even work. I’m just saying the OP was only stating the headline is misleading because it’s written as if ivermectin is not a medication used in humans. Writing “ivermectin, a medication used to treat parasites in cows and horses.” In that headline implies that the poisoning was caused by regular dose of ivermectin itself instead of by the massive overdose quantities of it that some idiots are taking. I’m saying OP is right. If the headline said “people taking horse sized dose of medication end up getting sick” it wouldn’t get the same amount of clicks because yeah, obviously they would get sick.

Except OP never stated anything like that. All OP did was say the headline is misleadingly sensational in stating that it is used in bovine and equine medicine, but leaving out that it is also prescribed for human use.
