This message is from: "jen frame" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The inflammation, according to the vetrinary blood root expert in colorado, is a good thing. It means the horse's immune system has mounted a response, and will be healing that area. So it sounds like perhaps Xterra doesn't have enough blood root in it, or perhaps it is mixed with other caustic ingredients that irritate the skin beyond repair. Anyway, I'm with you: I use bloodroot on any warty looking thing and it works fantastically! Jen
