Mind you, some people get unscrupulous doctors to prescribe them the human dosage for it. In that case, it’s not going to do anything for them but it’s also not going to do any harm. There were a lot of cases of people getting seriously sick from taking too much of the horse paste version during the COVID pandemic.
There are side effects to the human version of the drug, like any drug, that can be harmful. It's definitely worth it in the case of getting rid of a parasite. Not so much for no fucking reason.
True, but the side effects aren’t on the same level of what can happen with misdosing the horse paste.
