Brewers yeast is safe but it doesn't work. Please see the file called THM Special Report. I'd try the Pentosan EQ injection for reactions. -- Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com EC Owner 2001

Re: Garlic for repelling insects

What about brewers yeast? Is it safe for IR horses? Does it help with biting insects? I have one who reacts terribly to biting insects (to the point of bleeding) and one who itches year-round. So

Re: Garlic for repelling insects

Oh boy! I have to disagree, Dr Kellon! I have used garlic as fly repellant for at least 5 years. My farrier and vets are always surprised at the lack of flies and no bites on my horses. We have

Re: Garlic for repelling insects

Quite a few members here use a combination of chondroitin and spirulina for skin allergies. They don't repel insects but can help with reactions. Both are available frommybesthorse.com. Laura K
