Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I went to a horse feed store (googled exactly that phrase) the other day and picked up iver and permethrin 10%. Iver is " IverCare " brand name and it's a paste that comes in a tube. 1.87 & ivermectin. Permethrin is a 's brand liquid, 10%. Around the same time, the long awaited iver pills from India came so I'm taking that instead. I took iver on days 1 and 2. Today is the third day. I will take them again on days 8 and 9, then 15, then 21. You're supposed to put permethrin 5% cream on you while you take iver but I don't have an Elimite cream and I have made my own. Does anyone know how to make a permethrin cream from a 10% solution? Can I use a hand lotion and mix a certain amount into it (what's the mix ratio?)
