Yes, there's quite a few allergies that can present themselves like SE. I have to work hard to get my panties unwadded over the SE horse because her owner really won't spend money to find out what's wrong. His vet slapped a label of SE or Black Fly Allergy on her, told him there was nothing he could do, and that was that. My panties are getting in a wad more and more over people who just won't take the time or money to properly care for their horses. The ones that *really* get me are the ones that want to talk about me behind my back for the little things I do for my horses and accuse me of abuse over things like blanketing my thin skinned hard keeper non-winter coat growing ASB...
