I know several Vets that take the dog wormer/parsite medication everytime they worm their dogs. Its fine for human use and in USA its so hard to get stuff for parsites. Docs will look at you like your crazy, rest of the world its a known thing. Even broadcast it over the news reminding people to take it

Well, Epic, we all know that you are simply enjoying a bit of trolling... However, both dog and cat food are safe for human consumption. There are even taste testers who help develop the products. Really. While I can't imagine ever having that job, there are people who do this willingly.

No do not try this because the medication is for dogs, hence being called dog wormer, it is not designed to interact with the human digestive system because of the acidity of the stomach differs, and the types of worms may also differ. If you think you have worms or any disease for that matter DO NOT attempt to self-medicate unless you are certified to do so. The best thing to do is to go to see your doctor or to a clinic.

when i had hookworms i used a cattle skin absorbed liquid , for parasites - i used 5 ounces in a drinking glass and had a friend wearing gloves wipe the 5 ounces all over my back - i could taste it in my mouth --- that is how you will know it was absorbed - i waited 20 min and then i took a shower . it worked.

No..they make wormers for humans and they aren't expensive..you need to get a doc to give it to you.

If you have parasites in you body, I suggest you contact your doctor immediately for proper medication.

Dear Twisted:
If you have an ailment, go to the doctor and get a prescription.

I guess you could try it, and then after you get home from the hospital from getting your stomach pumped or even worse, then come back and tell us all about it...
