[QUOTE="neilo, post: 7157982, member: 348"] I always had that too. We discussed it when I did my dipping course (30 years ago?) and the instructor nearly had a fit. He explained that OP was a cumulative nerve poison, building up in your system until it caused you real problems, with some people being more susceptible than others. The ‘feeling a bit grotty for a couple of days’, which I’d always considered as normal, is a sign that you (and me) are one of the susceptible ones, and should take every chance to avoid using OP. He scared me enough that I won’t have anything to do with it if at all possible. I've never understood the claims of a ‘good dipping’ being like a tonic. If you have scab in your sheep, then it is the most effective treatment we have currently. It will also kill other ectoparasites (which are also reliably killed by cheaper/easier/safer methods. It doesn’t do anything else beneficial to the sheep, other than give them a wash I suppose. [/QUOTE]
