how do i use benzyl benzoate for sweet itch?

I mix it with 500ml BB, 100ml liquid paraffin and 50ml meths which seems to work. But I like the idea of mixing with calamine, I shall try this next year.
 
Just a tip for applying: get a plastic syringe-driver, quite a fair-sized one is best, with a decent-sized hole in it (where the needle would be if there was one). Any agricultural unit should have them; worth getting a few in stock as they're useful for all sorts of jobs.

Fill it up with the lotion - making sure you put your finger over the hole to stop the lotion running out!! Then fit the squeezer end back in; once its in then you're going to need to turn the syringe-driver UP (so the hole is at the top) so the lotion can't then run out, then take your finger off the hole (you'll get airlock anyway so will have to). You'll figure it out!

Sorry, am making this sound complicated but it isn't!! Just explaining the simple way to do it.

Once the lotion is in the tube, it is MUCH much easier to apply this way as you'll be able to target the problem areas directly. You'll use far less too :)
 
Many thanks for all tips ..all worth trying. Back in the day (light years ago) I only ever treated my pony with stale urine . Worked a treat but was none too pleasant !!!
