You become a literal joke when you spew the propaganda about ivermectin being horse paste. Ivermectin is a human drug used safely by millions of humans. Like most human drugs it can also have veterinary use. By your logic, penicillin is a horse med. It was labelled horse paste because it was a clever NLP method of shaping pyblic opinion against it. But the sheer dishonesty of this tactic should make you question what you have been told.
For your own sake. Purge yourself of the tuchidiocy that infects your mind.
Simple test to tell if what you have is horse paste. If your buddies recommend you get it from a feed store and it's apple flavoured, it's formulated for horses, and the standards are much lower than that which is intended for human consumption.
And so what? If you were to buy penicillin or antibiotics from a vet, would they have a different formulation? Of course your would have to adjust for weight, but the point is they are human drugs regardless of who sells it. And veterinary drugs or in this case human drugs repurposed for animals adhere to high quality standards. Horses are expensive and no one wants to be sued for giving them bad medicine.
The consequences of taking your pets medicines

Some parents have been tempted to treat their children's head lice with remedies- external site designed for use on the family dog or cat.

There can be severe unintended consequences if you use these animal medicines to treat your condition.
Despite the risks, it hasn't stopped some people from taking their pet's medicines. A 2016 survey of antibiotic use in the US found that about 4% of adults had reported using their pet's antibiotic medication- external site (this wasn't even the focus of the study and was information volunteered by participants).
