Re: Ivermectin paste/tablets for humans?
To willowwhite,
You said, "I've been on the high dose for 5 months with a few breaks during this timeframe. Before that, I took horsepaste off and on for 3 months. The demodex went away after about 5 or 6 weeks of high dose, plus I also used permethrin in my eyelashes whenever I felt them."
Two important points regarding your post:
1. I reached Google for "demodex lifecycle" and it said about 7-8 days, and the males exit the skin to breed. Shouldn't just using Vaseline alone every night for 10 days basically eliminate them by trapping all the males?
2. You posted your prescriptions, but what was your diagnosis? (Sorry if I missed that info)
3. I thought you cannot feel demodex since they are .1-.2mm in size. Were yours huge? Did anyone ever look at your eye boogers under a microscope? Got pics?
4. How could you tell they were gone?
Please don't take this reply as criticism or in any negative way. Thanks for your info.
