Original Note:

Fenbendazole is an anti-parasitic medication used to treat parasitic worm infections in animals https://politifact.com/factchecks/2023/feb/20/facebook-posts/no-proof-dog-deworming-drug-fenbendazole-can-cure/ https://healthline.com/health/pancreatic-cancer/fenbendazole-for-pancreatic-cancer#summary
