yes, it will make you itch like hell, I find that after spraying its worse in strong sunlight and if you start to sweat. Your meant to wear fully protective clothing to apply too!

Yes it’s extremely harmful.  Can rot your overtrousers, burn your skin, cause breathing problems and even neurological problems.  I’m now sensitised to it and have to wear full protective gear including full face mask.  Haven’t yet found gloves that let you use your fingers and don’t get rotted within a few applications :/

Don’t overdose the sheep, either.  We had a mishap and overdosed two of our sheep with a double full dose of it on their heads.  (Treating for headflies, hadn’t reset the applicator.). They had problems walking for several months.
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
