How worms build resistance:

Worms can build resistance to the Chemical wormers. Usually this happens because the wormer being used, is used over a long period of time and at improper dosages. The amount of wormer used is not enough to kill all the worms, but enough to help many of them build resistance.

I'm not sure a blanket statement like that is entirely true.

Worms in some peoples herds may have become resistant to it, but not everybody uses it all the time so resistance would depend on the strain of worms.

It has been used for decades, so in MOST areas, it is ineffective except on tapeworms.
