"Bounce" is suppose to work good for repelling flies, bees, and such. Someone sent me an email about the many uses. It's on my home computer, and I am at work. I know a lot of people who would tie a strip around their bridles to repell deer flies.

Tuffy, I hope you get your badly needed rain. It has been one of the most beautiful summers here, in a long time. No frost yet, and temps in the low 80's and sunny. The past two were nasty, with a lot of rain and cooler temps. It sure has been enjoyable for a change.

Duchess, after reading that article about EEE, I am worried about my daughter. She came home yesterday from work, freezing. She had not felt good since Labor Day. She did go to the doctor last week and had blood work and they said it was a viral infection. They gave her meds, but she still doesn't feel good. I wanted to take her to emergency room, but she just went to bed. Her husband is in Columbus helping set up the store, for Quarter Horse Congress. She said she felt better this morning, but it is a worry.

Good morning MissTargets.... I hope she feels better soon.

Hope your daughter gets well soon.

There were several people at the ride that had Bounce strips hanging from bridles. I never asked how well they worked.

I dry all the horse tack/blankets, sheets, etc. in Bounce. It does seem to help with flies. I don't think they like the smell of it.

Can your daughter suggest to her doctor that she may have contracted EEE - that she would appreciate being tested? It's hard to know, some doctors don't mind, some get very upset if you make any suggestions.
