Not ivermectin related -- except this carrageenan was used in the recent super-successful Argentine study of prophylaxis with ivermectin + carrageenan.

Let me know if you think it's inappropriate for the sub.

I remember when my nan used to give me Irish Moss cough pastilles whenever I was coming down with a cold...

Who would have thought https://virologyj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-422X-5-107 eh? From 2008.

And I also remember this

Irish Moss song

LOL. Love the song!

One of my fav sketches from the real McCoy, a UK sketch show with deep roots set in the British Afro Caribbean culture. It was one of a few shows that represent the minority and was Brilliant!

I wonder if I can find that show...

It was a really good show from the early 90s on the BBC, I used to watch it when I lived there. There were other very good comedy series around that time, The Fast Show and Goodness Gracious Me especially. You can find a lot of their skits on youtube.
