We dipped everything that was sent in for a bath, to groom or that had fleas/ticks. Not one animal became ill.
Prolate/Lintox is a good product.
1. You're ignoring the truth of what I said.

2. I have used Amitraz for years, and never had a death either, but the product is STILL so toxic you're supposed to wear gloves and a bib.

3. You are WRONG that Prolate Lintox doesn't have any harmful effects (yeah, really):

Read this (for people who apply it): "WARNING: May be fatal if swallowed. Causes substantial but temporary eye injury. Harmful if absorbed through skin. Do not get in eyes, or on clothing. Avoid contact with skin. Wear protective eyeware (goggles, face shield, or safety glasses), long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes and socks, and chemical-resistant gloves (barrier laminate or viton, selection category G.)"

And this: (again, for people who apply it): "Acute exposure to phosmet may produce the following signs and symptoms: pinpoint pupils, blurred vision, headache, dizziness, muscle spasms, and profound weakness. Vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, seizures, and coma may also occur. The heart rate may decrease following oral exposure or increase following dermal exposure. Chest pain may be noted. Hypotension may occur, although hypertension is not uncommon. Dyspnea may be followed by respiratory collapse. Giddiness is common."

The net is full of research to prove the opposite of what you say (that happens to people just for being near it, or getting a little bit on them) ... so just think of what it does to the naked dogs that get this stuff applied full force (whether you realize it or not) ...


So, back to what I was saying ... BEFORE you go to dipping your dogs in NOXIOUS CHEMICALS ... try feeding them an optimal diet, and try keeping them in optimal conditions, FIRST, because this is BEST PRACTICE
