Parasite Dust for Animals - powder
Parasite
Dust
for
Animals
-
powder
-
The
compound
is
formulated
from
Azadirachta
indica,
Achillea
millefolium
and
diatom
flour.
It
acts
in
four
ways
to
rid
animals
and
buildings
of
flies,
fleas,
lice,
ticks,
mites,
spiders,
beetles,
ants
and
more.
The
neem
tree
contains
a
chemical,
azadirachtin.
It
is
an
active
insecticide,
a
repellent
and
a
potent-antifeedant
and
ecdysis
inhibitory
compound.
Neem
herb
has
found
broad
use
as a
wound
healing
agent
and
has
reported
antimicrobial
properties.
Yarrow
is a
repellent
to
many
parasites
and
diatom
flour
desiccates
many
insects.
See Wound
Aid
for
Animals
and Hemostat
for
Animals
for
a
more
detailed
discussion
of
the
medicinal
properties
of
yarrow.
The
combination
of
these
processed
herbs
is a
very
effective
external
parasite
dust
which
also
presents
disinfectant
and
healingproperties
to
skin
infections,
lesions
and
other
irritations
secondary
to
infestation.
As
of
this
writing,
November
2004,
we
don’t
know
how
broad
the
efficacy
on
parasites
may
be,
nor
do
we
know
how
long
the
treatment
may
last.
Also
the
question
of
how
best
to
apply
the
dust
is
still
unanswered
in
total.
The
dust
flat
rids
mammals
of
parasites
and
a
teaspoon
or
two
on
your
window
sash
or
sill
eliminates
flies,
beatles
and
other
bugs
in
home
or
office
very
effectively.
It
is
safe
for
use
in
your
garden
as
well.
The
current
manner
of
application
which
has
yielded
success
is
to
sprinkle
the
dust
from
head
to
tail
along
the
spine
and
brush
against
the
hair
to
bring
the
dust
into
contact
with
the
skin.
This
should
be
done
under
dry
conditions.
One
to
two
ounces
is
enough
to
dust
a
large
herbivore
(e.g.
a
horse).
The
dust
should
cover
the
saddle
to
midlateral.
The
only
difficult
parasite
encountered
thus
far
are
engorged
ticks.
Even
engorged
ticks
have
disappeared
by
the
next
day
post
dusting.
The
ingredients
singly
are
nonmutagenic
and
nontoxic
to
mammals,
fish
and
birds.
It
is
expected
that
in
compound
they
also
are
harmless
in
the
form
and
concentration
in
this
product.
There
have
been
no
adverse
events
reported
to
date.
DISCLAIMER
We did not invent botanical medicines and we do not
recommend that the use of botanical medicines should
be undertaken on the strength of our restatement of
historical usage and documented research.
We do restate well documented traditional efficacy
and the results of ongoing research. Personal
experience is included where deemed appropriate.
Regardless of the merits of any plant medicine, side
effects do sometimes occur. These may be real or
imagined. Always seek the counsel and advice of
qualified medical professionals and use caution with
any medication, plant derived or otherwise.

NOTES
1. Oral dosages as given are for carnivores by body
weight. It is advised to dose low initially
and adjust upwards as the circumstances direct.
2. Do not scale up dosages for large herbivores by
their weight! Large herbivores, such as cattle or
horses, usually require approximately twice the
dosage of a 200 lb. carnivore.

global literature on botanical medicine and their
efficacy in veterinary practice. This research is
expected to result in: identifying needed clinical
trials, establishing standards for botanical
medicine, recommended dosages of botanical medicine
and recommended clinical procedures for their use.
This research is being conducted by the Veterinary
Research Council, Inc., of which, Dr. Fox is
