New Normarl Watch: #388
Alberta feed shop forced to hide livestock medication being touted as COVID-19 cure!
Global News:
Demand for a medication often used to treat or prevent parasites in animals has led one Calgary feed shop to hide the product after it was falsely touted as a cure for COVID-19.
Lance Olson, manager at Lone Star Tack & Feed Inc. started getting calls about Ivermectin last November, but demand peaked this summer.
“We were probably getting four to five phone calls a week,” Olson said.
“This is not something people should be buying and putting in their orange juice or coffee. It’s not safe,” he adds.
Inquiries became so persistent, Olson had to pull the medication from shelves. Now the store only sells to those with a Premises Identification Program (PID) number.
