Are your properties really yours?

Sometimes the things you own can end up owning you.

Nothing, not even your own body. Get used to the idea, one less thing to let go of and miss when you die.

In a bizarre twist amid ongoing debates about off-label drug use, Americans self-medicating with ivermectin, a livestock dewormer falsely touted as a COVID-19 treatment, are reporting an unexpected side effect: eerily smooth, rigid facial skin resembling cosmetic Botox procedures. Dubbed "MAGA Face" online due to its prevalence among far-right demographics, the phenomenon has sparked both mockery and concern.

According to a study published by the *Journal of Animal Sciences*, researchers observed a 250% surge in cases since 2021 where ivermectin users developed "frozen" facial features, including diminished wrinkles, unusually taut skin, and limited facial mobility. Dr. Evelyn Reed, a dermatologist quoted in the report, claimed, "Their skin doesn’t move. It’s like they’ve been laminated, no frown lines, no forehead creases. The 'Fox News Filter' effect is real."

The term "MAGA Face" emerged on social media as users noted the trend among conservative circles, where ivermectin gained traction despite FDA warnings. One affected individual, "Dave K." (56), shared his experience: "I took horse paste for a month to own the libs. Now my grandkids say I look like a Ken Doll. My wife says I’ve got ‘resting patriot face.’" Critics jokingly attribute the look to "extreme patriotism hardening the visage."

While the article cites "quantified smugness metrics" and "dermal petrification," medical professionals stress that ivermectin has **no proven cosmetic benefits** and can cause severe health risks like nausea, liver damage, or hospitalization.

What if the discussions are still visible, but limit what could participate. I don’t think it’s a good idea, but it is one step softer approach.

In a bizarre twist amid ongoing debates about off-label drug use, Americans self-medicating with ivermectin, a livestock dewormer falsely touted as a COVID-19 treatment, are reporting an unexpected side effect: eerily smooth, rigid facial skin resembling cosmetic Botox procedures.

The FDA reaffirmed: "Ivermectin is for parasites, not vanity. Consult a doctor, not memes."
