hey you guys, i think sulphur works repelling gnats! Trausti and nasi both were doing some what i would call normal rubbing, no hair loss, and I would see just swarms of gnats around their sheaths when in between bug spray treatments. My elderly friend, a breeder of over fifty years, told me a sulphur salt block, the yellow ones, would help keep gnats and mosquitos away. Then I bought some "Happy jack Mange Medicine" suggested by a friend, said it will halt eczema in dogs. the main ingredient is a high persentage of sulphur. it smells to high heaven and is expensive, around 18 bucks for 8 ounces. I put it on the scalp at the mane where i saw some dandruff and on the ventril line.I see a very marked and noticeable decrease in gnats! M-T-G by shapely is also a product with sulphur. You can buy sulphur tablets for cattle but dont know how much you would give as a dose to horses for gnat repellent, i think the tablets for cattle are for disease of some kind... i dont know if Happy jack is a regional mange treatment but you could google it. just fyi Janice
-- even good horses have bad days sometimes.
