[Washington Examiner] A store in Las Vegas is requiring any customer who wants to buy Ivermectin, a drug primarily intended to treat parasitic worms in animals, to bring a photo with their horse.Several people are seeking Ivermectin this summer to try to treat or prevent COVID-19 despite warnings from health officials, causing V & V Tack and Feed to be sold out of the drug, according to KTNV in Las Vegas .
Store associate Shelly Smith told the outlet demand began to rise months ago, and that's when she put up a sign warning customers that Ivermectin can be dangerous to humans.
"The first sign came about several months ago when you started seeing articles about Ivermectin treating COVID. So, when I was ordering my Ivermectin, I noticed our distributors had that [warning], so I figured let me hang one too just to let people know, 'Do not take this,'" Smith said.
