Ee yi pinkeye, too.

Sarcoptic mange is transmissible to humans, but Demodex mange isn’t.

Break out the mange soap!

One treatment is medicinal foam … foam on the mange.

Home on the Mange…

“…Old MacDonald had a form.”

But did he fill it out correctly?

Ei Ei Oh!

If Old MacDonald got it from his sheep, I might say E I E I Ewe.

More like: EI, EI, YEOWCH!!

Groan…

With a mange mange here and a mange mange there … ?

e-i-e-i-o

E I E I O

Oh man-thanks for the giggle!

It’s evolving like covid? Even way out there in his home-home-home on the range.

Old McDonald’s food has a form, and it holds up very well over time.

Groan

I can’t believe I’m the first one to request a rin-shot after that pun…

I wonder why there is an outhouse in the middle of that doctor’s office, and why Ole Mac is sitting in there with his jeans pulled up.

This cartoon makes me go E-I-E-I-Ouch!

Groan…

Mange is a term for skin conditions caused by a species of mites in certain animals, such as dogs and cats.

Humans can catch mange from dogs, but the mites involved cannot complete their life cycle in human skin. As a result, the issue can cause some skin irritation in humans, but it does not last long.

A different species of mite causes ‘mange’ in humans. When these mites affect people, it is known as scabies. And needs treatment.

if he’s got mange he’ll need a manger…
