Unbeatable Cydectin -- against the most resistant parasites.

I only pray the picture means that Cydectin is for parasites that attack cows -- not parasites the size of cows, wearing special protective headgear and gloves.

Because those would be some pretty damn resistant parasites.

Been meaning to post a ton of fun pics from South America. Will try to trickle them up here regularly, maybe one a day or so for a while, now that I have a minute. Regular visitors, thank you for your patience.
