solarbirdI'm de-referencing this by one because it's too disgusting. Here's a link to my Twitter link. You'll have to click twice.

A bunch of anti-vaxxers in the ivermectin Facebook group are reporting defecating "rope worms" when taking the livestock dewormer ivermectin. They think this is good, like they actually have some parasite or other.
But "rope worms" aren't parasites. They're what happens when you poison your intestinal lining, causing it to slough off.
The "worms" are their own intestinal lining.
Apparently some of them do this to their autistic children, too, only with chlorine dioxide, which they think "cures" or "treats" autism. That's where the term "rope worms" emerged.
(Wikipedia notes that one's a mandatory referral to CPS if detected.)
I gotta admit, this one makes me feel physically ill.
Pooping out your own organs to own the libs, I guess.
That's where we are.
Wow.

Date: 2021-09-02 09:20 am (UTC)There's one woman doing this with another bleeding condition - I don't remember the name, I'm not an MD - but the ivermectin interferes with her primary medication and causes this behaviour, and she asked her doctor what to do about the bleeding and they were "for the love of god stop taking ivermectin" and she said that isn't what she wanted to hear does anyone have anything else? And it will kill her if she doesn't stop.

(edit) Fun fact: I was one of the early people on to report ivermectin was initially thought to hold some promise in treating the symptoms of COVID-19 - the link to the article on that's in my Archives somewhere. While I've since felt some guilt over perhaps being responsible for at least a few of these fools rope-worming themselves to death, I'm getting over it pretty fast, fwiw.

Also because I don't want to be like those assholes even a little, and you know they don't care if we drop dead.

Date: 2021-09-09 03:31 am (UTC)men'shuman's illnesses and deaths. That deserves grave bodily harm/homicide charges, not my sympathy.Good on you for not wanting to be like them. I don't either. I don't wish them harm, quite the opposite. The problem is, despite whatever I may wish them, they're not only going to largely needlessly get ill and die, they're going to take countless innocent others down with them, and that to me's beyond irresponsible ignorance.
And yeah, no, I know they don't care if we drop dead. They want us to. But anyhow.
