An Arizona man has died after ingesting chloroquine phosphate — believing it would protect him from becoming infected with the coronavirus. The man's wife also ingested the substance and is under critical care.
The toxic ingredient they consumed was not the medication form of chloroquine, used to treat malaria in humans. Instead, it was an ingredient listed on a parasite treatment for fish.
Stupid tragedy.
Indeed, the FDA brand name for the malaria drug is Plaquenil, just fyi
It can have dangerous side effects, like cardio-arrhythmia, so don't start taking it unless you actually have Covfefe
Then follow the instructions to the letter
If you're not confident in battlefield medicine, best to ask for help from someone who is
The Plaquenil is not a cure, it's simply an anti pneumonia agent, if you don't have pneumonia, don't take it
