Injectable ivermectin can be given straight effectively if accurately measured.

Re read the post if you are still confused. I misread your post to think you were talking about injectable ivermectin in the second sentence. The paste is impossible to dose accurately if it is not diluted.

What is the matchstick method?

As a person who buys her Ivermectin pre-compounded already, I have no idea about any of the hand-mixing methods. Can somebody enlighten me or point me to the right link?

It's taking some of the paste straight from the tube and putting it on the end of a matchstick for the pig to lick off.

Just go to the Ivermectin link on the home page.

Oh wow. The pig actually licks it off? What if you put too much (or too little) on the end of the matchstick?

Paravati,

The "matchstick method" of dosing with Ivermectin is where one takes a dose of the ivermectin paste the size of a match head and gives it to the animal.

Please note: I do *NOT* recommend this method as it is not an accurate way of dosing Ivermectin.

Well, on CG they recommend bathing your pig in Lysol for stubborn mite problems. No shit either.
