You have to have the gel come in contact with mucus membranes (eyes or mouth) for an extended period of time for ill effects to happen.
A farrier just left here after a short discussion bout this stuff, D gel, seems he had a customer who used it on her horse for trimming, he reported that it worked very well for his part, after getting his check and short banter bout how well the horse stood ,the owner announced that she felt that she should give her horse a kiss, apparently there was some gel on the horses lips , or the owner gave it full tongue. The farrier told me that she quickly reported that her vision was blurred and that she felt out of it..............lasted bout 20 minutes. We got talking bout it because i showed him my ribs and arm from an incident yesterday where a young stud colt got me via a lunge and strike with his fronts, i used the lip chain, i ve yet to work on a horse that has been D gelled, I didn t kiss the horse but got the dizzy,shortness of breadth feeling!

Ray, you just can't fix stupid. If the gel was on the horse's lips it was not administered properly. The fact she kissed the horse and shared saliva indicates she did not read or follow the included instructions. Here's another theory, her horse means so much to her, that when he finally returned her affections, due to the drug reaction, she simply swooned; now believing he is truly her soul mate. lol
It goes under the tongue and shouldn't be anywhere on the lips! And I'm not kissing any horse for any reason. I'm of the opinion that any horse that can't be ridden or put to some other good use should be put down. But thanks to all that keep useless horses for us to work on.
