Arrr! Be them blood-suckin' ticks and their wretched diseases sailin' the seas? Can this potion make 'em walk the plank?

Arrr, a wee experiment revealed that feedin' them deer some ivermectin be lessenin' the tick infestation. Aye, 'tis the same ivermectin ye be thinkin', but make no mistake, me hearties, ye should not be devourin' it yerself.
Arr, me hearties! Listen up, ye scurvy dogs, for I've got a tale to tell ye. A bunch of fancy scientists conducted a wee study, and what they found was quite interestin' indeed. They be feedin' them deer with a special kind o' ivermectin, aye, the same one ye might have heard of. But before ye go and start gobblin' it down like a greedy seagull, let me be clear - it be not meant for human consumption, lest ye fancy the taste of death.Now, back to the story. These landlubbers discovered that feedin' the deer this ivermectin actually helped to decrease the number of ticks suckin' their precious blood. Aye, ye heard me right! Them ticks, those pesky little bloodsuckers, were left itchin' for more but couldn't find a drop to drink. I reckon the deer be mighty relieved, not havin' to worry 'bout them parasites anymore.
But hold yer horses, me hearties! I wouldn't go rushin' to sprinkle ivermectin on yer cereal just yet. This here study be but a small one, and more research be needed to confirm its findings. I don't want ye endin' up like a landlubber with a belly full of regret.
So, ye might be wonderin' - why be this ivermectin so special? Well, me mateys, it be an antiparasitic medicine, mainly used for treatin' things like scabies and such. It's got a reputation for kickin' those little critters to Davy Jones' locker, so it ain't no surprise it worked on them ticks too.
But remember, me hearties, leave the ivermectin to the professionals. Let them fancy scientists do their research and figure out if 'tis safe for us landlubbers. In the meantime, keep yer distance from them ticks, and if ye see one crawlin' on ye, give it a good flick! Arr!
