[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 965089, member: 18682"] Ivermectin ( ivermec) works pretty good on alot of parasites, but not ringworm which is a fungus. Works on mange and what we call "the winter itch" which looks like mange, and may be related don"t know. Winter itch seems to be more of a deficiency / low immune system, that allows some sort of bug to cause an itch and causes the cows to scrape off the hair in patches. Sunlight and vitamins seem to help it, but a blast of ivermectin also helps. Lice usually have a small scab that you can peel off, sometimes with a very small tuff of hair in the scab, with a small sore underneath. Even though lice and Keds prefer their animal host, they can head your direction so be aware of that. I have pulled keds off of family members after they were handling sheep, even though they are not supposed to attach to humans. Guess they were so hungry they grabbed what ever they could find.
