- Product Description - Pros: White Lightning is a Treatment for Thrush, White Line disease & Rain Rot & other fungal ailments. It comes in a liquid or a gel.
White Lightning® is the active Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) solution to Thrush, Skin Fungus and White Line Disease. Chlorine Dioxide has been demonstrated to be bactericidal, fungicidal, virucidal and sporicidal while remaining harmless to healthy tissue.
White Lightning® is safe to use, and unlike hypochlorite, does not produce toxic byproducts. Chlorine Dioxide is so safe, it is routinely added to orange juice and other consumer foods and beverages to kill contaminants and prevent spoilage. Chlorine Dioxide is even used by dentists in periodontal work. Not only is ClO2 safe, but it is up to seven times more effective than chlorine bleach.
Chlorine Dioxide is an unstable gas…meaning it cannot be stored in a container, but rather must be generated when needed. This is accomplished by adding equal amounts of White Lightning® to a mild acid such as white vinegar. A chemical reaction then occurs generating ClO2. After a period of time, all gas is released and the resulting liquid is inert and totally harmless. In the case of the White Lightning® Gel, the same reaction occurs. The Gel is easier to use and is the better choice in certain applications.
Cons: You can not store mixture once its activated with the vinegar. but one bottle has plenty to use on several applications.
Would you recommend this to a friend?: Yes
Other comments: I was amazed that the rain rot ( the coin-shaped raised lesions on the back, rump, etc) disappeared after 1 treatment ( just like the farrier told me). I had tried betadine (like the vet told me to use) and it was an ongoing battle and very labor intensive. With the thrush treatment I had tried bleach but it was messy, hard on your clothes, and needed many more treatments. I was VERY satisfied with this product and would highly recommend it. Also I have seen it at Tractor supply and other feed stores, so the prices probably vary.
Overall Product rating: (out of 10) I would give it a 9 or 10.
