Sweet itch is the most common allergic skin disease in the UK and\naffects around five per cent of our horse population. The types of midges and\nmosquitos which cause the hypersensitivity differ depending on the country but\nin the UK these are the black fly (Simulium) and the midge (Culicoides). It is\nalso worth noting that whilst we tend to think of sweet itch as a summer\ncondition, these biting insects are active from March to November. The\nitchiness associated with insect bite allergies can be termed pruritis and the\nterm ‘sweet itch’ literally describes the sensation experienced by the horse\nor pony in reaction to the bites. The condition varies in severity from the\nhorse occasionally scratching his tail on a tree to the very worst cases who\nwill scratch and scratch, causing self-trauma. A lot of cases will also have\nsecondary infections or other allergens involved. Directions For best results,\nstart applying this product before the midge season starts. Apply liberally to\nthe ridge of the neck and dock of the tail. Apply 2-3 times per day during\nheight of the midge season.
