I stumbled upon a corner of the internet where people were talking about taking Ivermectin to get rid of parasites. Specifically for parasites that don’t show symptoms whatsoever, or the symptoms are so mild that it’s hard to get a medical professional to prescribe an anti parasite treatment.

Is there any truth to this? I know in areas where parasites are more common, people regularly take anti parasite meds to poop out a lot of worms every so often. Would there be an under diagnosis problem in richer countries?
