Is There Egg Withdrawal for Liquid Safeguard?

[BigBlueHen53]

The worst that would happen is the wormer would work on the person eating it... but the dose a chicken gets, and what could possibly end up in an egg, compared to the dose needed for a human...

Well, actually the worst that could happen is whatever chemicals are in the wormer could cumulatively be toxic or carcinogenic to humans over time. You know kind of like, say ... nicotine.

How likely is that to happen with the Safeguard liquid?

Wll I don't think anyone knows that either, simply because no clinical trials have been done in either case. So some people eat the eggs and others discard them, and only time will tell if one choice was better than the other. Everyone needs to make that decision for themselves.

I totally understand where you're coming from and acknowledge the necessity of specific scientific review. I'm very glad you brought this up to help people consider such things carefully. I mean it when I say your good sense is invaluable to many of us! And I admit a certain lala guesswork attitude to my original response here, lol.

But, in this case, anthelmintics are generally considered safe.
Fenbendazole seems to be undergoing current or pending clinical trials for a potential anti-cancer affect.

Safeguard and Valbazen are very safe wormers, they are Benzimidazoles. Benzimidazoles are poorly absorbed into the bloodstream and mostly excreted.
Dont worry, no one will turn into Quasimodo after eating the eggs.

Thank you, you're probably right.

For what it’s worth, albendazole, the generic form of Valbazen, is prescribed for humans with worms. It is used all over the world as well.

We have eaten the eggs for years after using Safeguard or Valbazen, and I worm my birds monthly. Still here typing.

What is the easiest way to deworm them?
Fendbendzole or ?
Thinking how do you weigh a chicken and dose every 5 days? I have never dewormed my hens- augh bad chicken momma

Fendbenzole is not harmful - studies show it reduces cancer tumors in animals and people.
