Mud fever, pastern dermatitis, greasy heel - whichever you choose to call it, this is a condition that drives horse owners to despair! Every year, barrier creams, powders, lotions and turnout boots are applied in a desperate attempt to either prevent or treat the dreaded mud fever. Despite the best efforts of horse owners, this persistent condition returns year after year. Turnout boots get lost in the field, never to return, and sometimes our efforts to prevent or treat mud fever can actually make the problem worse. 

If you are one of the horse owners battling mud fever this winter, we have something just for you! The new Kyowave mud fever boot is a product designed to kill the bacteria that causes mud fever using blue light therapy. Unlike creams and ointments, Kyowave is not a traditional antibiotic mud fever treatment. Instead, it uses blue light therapy to destroy bacteria.

Using Blue Light to Tackle Mud Fever

Blue light therapy has been used in human medicine for some time, partly in response to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. It is being used to treat skin conditions such as acne, and research is being carried out to investigate its effectiveness in treating other illnesses. 

Kyowave is a rechargeable boot that harnesses the known clinical benefits of blue light therapy to target and kill mud fever bacteria. Studies using Kyowave on S. aureus (MRSA) and P. aeruginosa show total bacteria killing after 30 minutes. 

The specific wavelength of light used in our mud fever boot has been shown to destroy the bacteria that cause mud fever, whilst being safe to use on human and mammalian skin.
