SINGAPORE - A 65-year-old retiree fell violently ill and has been hospitalised after taking a drug meant to treat parasite infestations on the urging of her church friends to protect herself from Covid-19.

Madam Wong Lee Tak had taken four 3mg tablets of ivermectin over two days. She became ill on Friday (Oct 1), believed to be her second day of taking the prescription drug.

She suffered a 39.3 deg C fever, inflammation on her joints and would "vomit violently" after eating food, said her daughter Vanessa Koh, 32.

......

parish priest Edward Lim from the Church of the Risen Christ said on Facebook that the church was aware that one of its parishioners had been hospitalised after ingesting ivermectin on the advice of some church friends.

He said: "We would like to advise everyone to protect themselves from the Covid-19 virus by taking officially prescribed safety measures available to them. Only accept vaccines approved by the authorities which are made available at accredited centres authorised to administer the jabs."

Anything overdose is bad.

What is a safe dosage? I think she followed the guidelines for body weight type.

Maybe she is allergic.  Others have taken with no issues.

Still... no can do

Self medication can be dangerous

Vaccination can be dangerous too. Ask Michael Yong

Ivermectin is for livestock.

The lady has underlying health issue such as history of high blood pressure and diabetes. Taking without proper guidance is a risk.
Getting vaccinated or not
is personal opinion and wisdom.

I guess this is a result of their "wisdom" from social media guiding her personal opinion

all tcm herbal treatments for respiratory infections are cold, and ginger is often added to over this problem

Any Singapore products sold should be regulated so generally is safe . If those are not approved to be sold on the shelf is likely too cold for general use if without proper guidance according to individual.
health.
Recommended one made in Singapore is not too cold .

[dynamite]

A lot grandma only listen to their "friends".

To me thats not wisdom but lack of understanding by being overzealous.

Upz you 1 pt for good post.

"It's not a single solution, and it would have to be used in the first few days after infection," Guzzo said. "Reducing viral replication means reducing the severity of the disease and the inflammatory response. COVID-19 is a complex disease, comprising the viral replication stage, which hypertonic saline could treat, and then systemic inflammation, which is far more extensive. This second stage can be intense and lead to a number of complications in different organs."

If unwell, gargle with salt water and breathe in steam from salt water . Won't die and can't hurt.

coincidental lah
she was hospitalised due to other reasons

[WhatDoYouThink?]

her friend could hv read Obama and ah butt's posts on ivermectin at the ex sgtalk and asked her to try

[Great]

Her church friends say covid is a test from God and covid is satanic. Sounds very similar to those ketuanans species
across the causeway who say vaccine is not halal so cannot take.

[starbugs]

Looks like there are some deviant teachings circulating among members of that church, even if the church leaders are not involved. They need to be summoned to drink kopi at Cantonment.

If her Church friends really got say dat dan it is their own personal belief. We are living in the End Times. More trials and tribulations to come.

As for the mRNA vaccine, Catholic church neber say yay or nay. Even Pope oso vaxxed liao. It iz a personal choice.
