Apparently this is an on-line book maintained by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, Bethesda (MD) -- part of NIH.

Someone on twitter said ivermectin was toxic to livers. I asked for a link and the someone responded with a link to this book.

Turns out it's a negligible problem:

Hepatotoxicity

Single dose therapy with ivermectin has been associated with a low rate of serum aminotransferase elevations. A single case of clinically apparent liver injury has been reported after ivermectin use (Case 1). The onset of injury occurred 1 month after a single dose and was characterized by a hepatocellular pattern of serum enzyme elevations without jaundice. Recovery was rapid and complete.

Likelihood score: D (possible rare cause of clinically apparent liver injury).
