Man Dies After Using Animal Dewormer for Cancer Cure Based on Fake Claims
A man died after self-medicating with an animal de-worming drug, fenbendazole, believing it could cure cancer based on false social media claims. The drug, which is banned for human use, caused liver and kidney failure, and the inquest concluded his death was due to fenbendazole-induced liver injury. Authorities warn against buying and using such drugs online without medical guidance.
