Description
Dhe summer is over, the days are getting much shorter and cooler again and slowly, very slowly, the midges are also getting fewer. Finally, the horses can relax again because less to no itching. Summer eczema does leave bald, scraped patches and wounds on the crest of the mane, tail and belly.
Causes: Saliva from stinging midges produces an allergic reaction causing summer eczema in horses. These midges are usually most active during sunrise and sunset, making these times of day particularly risky for horses. The saliva of midges contains a protein that triggers an immune response in horses that are sensitive to it. The immune response unfortunately leads to inflammation, itching and discomfort for the horse.
