I'm not defending idiots saying it cures cancer, but people dismissively calling ivermectin a "horse dewormer" when it's approved for human use for all sorts of parasitic diseases is something that grinds my gears. It actually is something of a wonder drug, just not for what these idiots keep claiming.
Methylene blue is an approved drug too, (the first synthetic drug, coincidentally) it's used for cyanide poisoning amongst other things. It's also a MAOI, which makes it dangerous to take with a bunch of common medicines.
The fun fact about Methylene Blue that always is a hit with students is it also turns your pee a green/blue-green color.
