Is it safe to eat eggs of chicken that was given medicated tablet for parasites?

The EU loves to protect their inhabitants against business who are only interested in profit/money and don’t give a damn about people health and sanity.

That’s why they don’t allow some of the poisons in human feed. Unfortunately some of the big pharma and big businesses have so many and powerful lobbyists that it takes ages to stop more poison getting in the environment and our bodies.

In some countries in Europe we only have 25% of the insects left compared to the starting point of counting (in the 80ties). Partly because farmers make monocultures , partly because the farmers and flower industry uses way too much poisons. It’s prooven that people who work in the flower industry often get Parkinson’s disease because of the poisons.

The factory farmers with large scale animal keeping cause a lot of pollution too and are a source of many health risks. If they are allowed to use more medicines it would cause only more risks for the health of humans. We already had several outbreaks and lots of death /handicapt people because large scale factory farmers try to make as much profit as possible (Creuzfelt, Q-fever, anti-biotics resistance, etc.). Even the contagious bird flu we have now is a by product of factory farming (says WUR, wageningen university and research).

I entirely agree with you.

I run my entire back yard on permaculture principles and don't use any agrichemicals. Generally speaking. I couldn't get liquid or rapidly soil-available calcium for my garden due to supply chain issues so I used dicalcium phosphate intended as an animal feed supplement. It's not 'natural' but nor is it really a 'chemical'.

However, no matter how much I would wish it otherwise, in my climate and with the space I have at my disposal I cannot always prevent my chickens from getting parasites. So I worm them with the standard products. And yes I eat their eggs. Their eggs are orders of magnitude less contaminated and more nutritious than any food I could buy.

I live in a region saturated in agricultural chemicals. It's probably the cause of my asthma. There's not much I can do about that, so I use an inhaler. I can tell you I much prefer having my inhaler than NOT having one, like my parents decided to do when I was a child and they 'didn't want to use chemicals'.

My hen had feather mites so she was given one tablet that contained Ivermectin 0.1 mg and Praziquantel 7.5 mg. Is it safe to eat her eggs or how long should I wait?

Did you already give the bird a tablet?
