[_jetset_]

Has anyone used it, and what for?

Thanks,

It is used for skin conditions and I use it with pig oil to prevent mites/grease on my hairies.

Excellent stuff.

I've used flowers of sulphur one hot summer on my horse when he was bitten by tiny red ants which was in our soil. Successful but unfortunately, most chemists in my area don't seem to stock it anymore. I was told to sprinkle the powder on the backs of the legs which seemed to do the trick. Not sure if its successful in all cases. Trial and error I guess.

I have been told to feed it to reduce the reaction she has to fly bites... I just thought I would see whether anyone else had used it or not

Do you think it would also reduce the reaction horses have to gorse bushes?

What I should have added is some of our horses have an awful reaction on their noses

I was once told to mix it with lard and smear on my old mares legs to clear up mud rash. I never tried it though!

It is supposed to help reduce reactions by lowering the blood temperature (according to my trainer's client who is a doctor) so therefore reduces reactions to things like fly bites.
