I find it interesting that technically those here who are advising the use of Ivermectin could be liable to prosecution (technically) in the UK.

Do you have a pet store near you? Sometimes they have some stuff that can treat scaly leg mites.

You can’t do anything in the UK without being in breach of some overreaching ridiculous hippy law.
Now look up fipronil it’s even scarier.

Did you mean to write that the UK is one of the leading advocates of better animal health care.

I take extremely good care of my animals right here in the USA.

Of course I mean this in the nicest way possible.

Ivermectin *is* an effective lice treatment, and anyone that has used it to treat lice will say the same thing. People that say it doesn't treat lice haven't tried it, lol.

Actually I can’t say enough bad things about the UK. Lol

Afaik Ivermectin isn't licensed for use on poultry in the USA either.
That would be the hippy's for you.....they are American after all.

Here in the US we say it's "not labeled" for use in poultry, but that does not mean that it can't be used, it just means that one should follow an appropriate egg or meat withdrawal time.
