We had a couple of the infective cases many years ago, brought in by a new 
horse we purchased.  I tried many different treatments, but finally solved 
the problem with "Cut Heal", an interesting wound treatment composed of fish 
oil, sulfuric acid, and balsam of fir.  Must have been the sufuric acid that 
did the job, but it DID heal the scratches.
