[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1509869, member: 27490"] Parasites are invertebrates. Their physiology is enough different from Vertebrates that a toxin to a parasite is not a toxin to the cow (vertebrate). You know that, I am providing background. There must be 1001 toxins that have not been discovered that will kill parasites and not kill vertebrates. I agree, parasites evolve at a faster pace than larger organisms (that is another topic - has to do with larger populations and thus more opportunities for variation and adaptability) so yes, the current family of parasiticides will become obsolete. But drug companies then have an opportunity to develop the next generation of parasiticides. I see that as an opportunity. [/QUOTE]
