Just hours after wishing a happy Friday to all the “POISONOUS HORSE PASTE EATING SURVIVORS !!!” in his Telegram dewormer support group “Dirt Road Discussions,” a Rhode Island ivermectin guru suddenly died of heart failure earlier this month, according to his group’s admins, Vice reports.
“Though it was obvious that Danny had the biggest heart, it was unbeknownst to him that his heart was quite literally overworking and overgrowing beyond its capacity, nearly doubled in size from what it should have been, We understand that this is going to raise questions for those who were following him,” wrote the Dirt Road admins in their paste-mortem on founder Danny Lemoi’s death. Vice notes that Lemoi was something of a hipster in the world of ivermectin, as he started taking the horse goo in 2012 to treat Lyme Disease, long before it was all the rage in the MAGAverse.
In his group however, Lemoi was far from alone in experiencing adverse side effects of long or even middle-term use of ivermectin, with fans complaining of migraine, vomiting, severe stomach pain, sciatic, shin splints, restless leg syndrome, and God knows what else from horsing around with it.
