Happy Skin Buzz Off Spray for ticks unattractive

Happy Skin Buzz Off Spray is a skin treatment product for horses and ponies that suffer from itching.

Research shows that specific coconut fatty acids have a repellent effect on the following tick species:  

- Ixodes ricinus = sheep tick, the most common tick in animals and humans in the Netherlands.

- Rhipicephalus sanguineus = dog tick, the most widespread tick worldwide.

- Amblyomma americanum = tick in North America, active in humans and animals.

The Happy Skin Buzz Off Spray works very simply; the ticks drop off on contact with the skin where the Coconut Fatty Acids are applied. the ticks find the smell and taste of these specific Coconut Fatty Acids so unpleasant that they drop off. They do not adhere to the skin, they do not die, but fall off the animal!

Ticks are dangerous for humans and animals because they transmit diseases. For horses, at least, tick bites cause a lot of itching, which is sometimes mistaken for summer eczema, known as sweet itch.

Directions for use: Spray your horse completely three times a week. Repeat the treatment after heavy rainfall. Happy Skin Buzz Off Spray is also safe to use on cats and dogs.
