Invermectin does that in vino. BUT In vitro, inside an actual human body, the amount of ivermectin required to create that effect will kill tHe patient. So no, its just not a viable treatment.

In vitro is in the lab, literally "in glass" (e.g. a petri dish or test tube). In vivo is in the living organism. In vino I guess not very much survives at all, the ethanol concentration is too high.

in vino.

What does wine have to do with it?

And is it white or red wine, or can we run with just any old plonk?

Remember, if a drug kills a threat in a petri dish, so does a handgun.
