Prevent, prevent and relieve summer eczema

The saliva of the little festering pig nodules is what creates what we call summer eczema. If we can prevent the nodules from biting the horse, we will have come a long way in preventing painful eczema, itching and infected skin.

Therefore, be careful to choose the right blankets and hoods to dress your horse in. Make sure that there are no unnecessary gaps, that it covers as much of the body as possible (e.g. belly girth) and that the material is fine-meshed so that they cannot get through. The knots are very small, so a regular fly blanket will not suffice.

But there is more to do. By building up the horse's immune system, we create protection and tolerance from within. That is why certain supplements have their rightful place among eczema protection products.
