You'd have to try really hard to poison someone with ivermectin. It's extremely common in some parts of the world.

Giving someone a medication without their knowledge is dangerous and a poisoning attempt, period, no matter how harmless you consider it.

Legally, totally agreed.

...but if you were so inclined to want to cause someone harm through poisoning, you'd have chosen really badly if you chose ivermectin.

I know a guy who put magic mushrooms in his family's coffee maker.

After a month of hallucinations, his mom checked herself into a psych ward for two weeks.

Guy thought it was really funny when he told her what he did, after she got back.

Guy is now homeless (unemployed 26 yo was living with his parents.)

Good story, but I question the relevance.

Wyvern mentioned that medicating someone without their knowledge is bad.

So I provided an example of that, taken up a notch.
