Re: [RC] My horse is allergic to menthol - Kristi Schaaf

Anyone else have a horse that reacted to menthol in
this way?
Sarah


We see allergic reactions to menthol, citronella, tea
tree and other aromatic oils fairly commonly in our
practice, though usually not as dramatic as what you
experienced.  Hope you both recover okay.

This reminds me of the fly spray called Flicks. It's
supposed to be the most gentle, benign, 'natural'
spray out there, but it caused my horse's sheath to
swell up to the size of a milk cow's udder and then
his skin sloughed off like it was burnt....it took me
quite by surprise because he has very tough black skin
and has never had any other trouble with allergies or
skin irritations. I guess it's just another example of
how you can't predict allergic reactions.
