People are trying to treat and prevent COVID-19 by taking ivermectin, a medication commonly used to de-worm horses – and they are poisoning themselves in the process.
ABC News reported an uptick in calls to poison control centers linked to the drug. The Missouri Poison Center alone has seen a 40 to 50 call increase in the regular amount of messages they would receive a day prior to the pandemic.
Experts are urging people to avoid the lure of fake cures, which could cause health problems as bad or worse than a COVID-19 infection.
March is Illinois Poison Prevention Month
