Re: Holy Hay Mites, Batman!

Hi Linda -

I have some ? about the "hay Mites". Have never heard of anything like that.

Have you actually seen these mites?
Has anything been diagnosed a vet or ag. specialist?
Could this be from bedding?
Are both horses and people affected?
Did this start with a new shipment from the same grower, or a different one?
What does your supplier have to say?

Thanks,
