Yes it's a great idea! Then I thought about using E45 cream as a carrier/base. It's cheap, neutral, available and appears to be absorbed into the skin easily and appears to be water/MMS soluble. That's the upside - the downside is how to apply it to a red raw hoof of a cow!! UPSIDE!! - that's my friends problem.:)

Now he has two options 1. a spray and 2. a cream/ointment. According to the skin care protocol 20 drops activated MMS in a 2oz spray bottle will last 3 days and I am assuming (for the momement) that will hold true for E45. Either way i don't imagine he will be making batches of spray or ointment that he can't use in 3 days or even a day for that matter, so that's not a problem.

Thoughts in progress:-

Calcium Hypochlorite as a foot-bath. I came across this prepper site post survivaltopics.com/better-than-bleach-use-calcium-hypochlorite-to-disinfect-water/
Which appears to suggest that Calcium Hypochlorite has many advantages over Sodium Hypochlorite as a water purifier, not least of which is it's cost/effectiveness and shelf life.

What I'm thinking is if a 200,000 litre swimming pool can be purified with a $50 tub of shock pool cleaner then a 200 litre foot-bath and maybe the whole farm-yard area can be done as well (maybe on a rainy day).

Spent the day mixing MMS, buying spray bottles and thinking. I will meet with my friend tomorrow and I'll sound like I know what I am talking about and take it from there.

I will report back. (On a side note he said "If you sort out Digital Dermatitis you'll be farting through silk shorts") -We'll see!!

Not to bump this tread but just to keep a record - Dave, my friend, didn't ring me as arranged. I have 2 4oz bottles of MMS, a spray bottle, a pump bottle, 500ml of ointment and a plan - ready to go!. I also have 2 local suppliers of Calcium Hypochlorite - £30.00 ($20 approx) for 5kg.

There is 'a thing' in this part of the UK (West Wales) called the 'Pembrokeshire Promise' and i think I am experiencing it right now.

I will report when I have something to report.

'Pembrokeshire' is a wonderful and beautiful part of the UK. It's the most west bit of Wales with fantastic coastal vistas, but its about 30 years behind the rest of UK. (I know because I've lived elsewhere and come back). I love living here but everything happens at it's own pace. I'm sure you have parts of rural US that are the same.

'Promise' a commitment to do what said you would do.

'Pembrokeshire Promise' - I completely forgot, - something came up, - I couldn't be arsed, - I've got so much work on right now, - my wife has developed (fill in blank) - the dog ate my homework, - the cheques in the post, - Baby, I promise I won't...... you get the idea!

:) Yup, thanks for the education! We once owned a house down south. Loved the town and its people. Our brand new stove caught fire one weekend. Not damage to the house. Called the appliance company on Monday morning and they said Oh My. Glad all is okay but now you have no stove. We'll be right out. How about next week Thursday. Gotta love emergencies! :)
