Valbazen and Eggs

[skunknchatter]

So I was using the trusty "google" to see why Valbazen is harmful to humans. Mostly because I was annoyed that I have to not eat the eggs from my hens for 2 weeks after worming. Well since you do it again 10 days after the first dose that's almost a month of wasted eggs. Anyway... wanna know what I found out? Valbazen is used to cure worm infestations in humans! Yup, same stuff. Just marketed with a label for human dosing. It says not for pregnant or women trying to become pregnant as it can have effects on unborn children. However, it did say that it can be used by nursing mothers. So, like many of you already have here on BYC, I'm eating the freaking eggs. And any Valbazen left over can just assure I won't end up with a pin worm infestation. Win-win.

Yea, tossing the eggs is a waist. I hard boiled mine and fed them back to the chickens.

I suppose one of the biggest risks is if you actually did have worms and ate the eggs. The dose of Valbazen in the eggs would be so small that the worms might build up a resistance to it after repeated exposure.
