I started using Flicks fly spray after reading about
it on ridecamp. It does a good job of repelling flies,
smells good and is 'all natural'(but I've learned that
'natural' doesn't necessarily mean 'safe'). I was
surprised to see my tough-skinned Arab have a reaction
to it. After a month of no problems, I noticed a
little scurfing across the bridge of his nose where I
had wiped some Flicks by hand a few days earlier. And
then the next day, his inner thigh and sheath swelled
up to the size of a cow udder. I called the vet and
she thought he probably had some gunk in his sheath
folds and told me to hose it out with cold water. I
found no gunk because there were no folds since the
swelling was so bad! It took several days for the
swelling to subside, and as it did, heavy scurf
appeared on his sheath and thighs. I don't know for
SURE that Flicks is the cause, but I believe that I
probably accidentally sprayed some directly on his
sheath area while spraying his belly. What surprised
me is that no other fly spray (heck nothing at all)
has caused such a reaction on this horse. Has anyone
else seen this reaction from Flicks? I like the
product, so will continue to use it, but will be much
more cautious about how/where I apply it.
