How do you protect your horse from deer flies?

Their really is no way to completely protect a horse from any type of flies. The most common solution is to spray fly spray. Also you can put a fly mask on the horse. But their is really no error free way to keep them off. Sorry!! But the Fly spray I use is pretty good, its Pemectrin II. It works pretty well, but it detereorates after 2 hours, so its not that good!!

Hope it Helps.

It could be a number of things. It could be like you suspect, a reaction from an insect. But he may have injured himself. He may have been kicked by another horse if he is with others. It could be an infection of some sort or even an infected tooth. Watch it closely. If it was an insect it should begin to go back to normal within a day or so. If not or if you see other symptoms do not hesitate to call your vet.

Because they fly away! and did you know flies land and pee every four seconds?

ok...so let me clarify a bit. I like the clever answer, but what happened is, at my friends' house a bunch of flies just clustered in one area, there was nothing there, the house is clean, and by the next day (it took a whole day) they were gone. Aside from the obvious reasons flies would be there....does anyone know if there is any other weird reason they would just be hanging out in one place, a whole bunch of them, and then the next day, the entire group be gone.

What happen when flies land in to food hygiene?

Flies will be probably digest the food is has landed on, and to do that they need to digest it. However flies have a poor internal digestion system so they will 'vomit' digestive fluids on the fluid mix the food and the fluid and then consume it. This is quite disgusting but the fluid is weak and you can still digest the food easily without knowledge of what has transpired. If however, the food has been visited by many flies for a long time, the digestive fluids may be able to cause a few little problems for your digestion. Also flies act like transport vehicles to many diseases, so if it lands on something it may have unknowingly left a small present of bacteria for you. Thankfully the bacteria will be in too small numbers to cause a problem if a fly landed on it. But you should really think how much you want to eat if lots of flies land on it, as too much bacteria can cause problems with digestion and could give you a cold (or in very rare cases, a very bad disease). Fortunately, the bacteria will fail to medicine like penicilin. If one or two flies land on food, it should be safe and with any luck it will build up your immunity.
