As people continue to find ways to protect themselves against the coronavirus, one thing some Oklahoman's are turning to is a cow de-worming medicine, invermecticin. Health officials say this is dangerous and Mary Clarke with the Oklahoma State Medical Association says humans shouldn't use the medication in any circumstance.
