What is it: There are numerous types of skin issues in horses. With colorful names such as mud fever, scratches, malanders, summer sores, rainrot, rain scald, and sweet itch.
What are the symptoms: itching, inflammation, hair loss, redness, irritation, crusty patches
What traditional medicine says: these are either bacterial conditions, inflammatory conditions, fungal conditions, or poor immune system issues. Treat with antibiotics and good hygiene.
Dr. Tucker’s thoughts: All of these are just symptoms. The primary cause is that the liver is overloaded with toxins, chemicals, and heavy metals. The skin is a secondary “filtering” organ. So when the liver is overburdened, it sends these contaminants out through the skin.
Some contaminants come into the body through the skin (fly sprays, chem trails), and those also will be filtered back out through the skin.
