[QUOTE="Ebenezer, post: 1393639, member: 24565"] External parasites are often repelled by skin oil so that might be a selection option. One of Bonsma's points of looking at hide and hair. Internal parasites: immunity is possible. Sheep here are 4 or 5 generations deep in "no worm" policy. That is intentional. Cows: nothing wormed over 3 YO and ought to back it up a bit or quit and see what happens. Habits are hard to break and for young animals the external pest control is a double plus with pour on. Could be some nutritional effects: I used to believe that bananas were a good daily part of my lunch. I was a mosquito, flea and chigger magnet. Somebody suggested I was eating something that was a link. I quit the bananas and the pests stopped on me. I might get 6 mosquito bites a year but no chiggers or fleas in several years. Now if the fire ants would only read the same article. I have to admit: I did not read the article as posted. It might have said similar. [/QUOTE]
