Ivermectin is something I’m familiar with for years in livestock. We avoid it except in extreme emergency because it quickly creates resistance in parasites.

Hi rose, I agree re contraceptives and other pharmaceuticals in the water. I have reverse osmosis purification system that removes everything, and I also filter my bath/shower.
Eggs can be labeled free from anti biotics but personally I have my own chickens or I would get them from a local farmer.

Finding local sources is important since regional food systems are better all around, for security, for ecology, for health and quality
