Particles of Silver are embedded in the yarn of the Sox. The Silver in the Sox forms an antimicrobial barrier that prevents dangerous microbes from reaching the skin. Bacteria and fungi must pass through the double layer of protection in order to re-infect the skin. The Silver used in the construction of our Sox will never wash out. It will not weaken. It will not degrade over time. We do not use “infused” silver, which is a method of dunking garments in an environmentally egregious chemical bath. Our Silver is there to stay in our Sox and meets the highest level of environmentally safe manufacturing standards. The Silver in clean, dry Sox is at peak ability to inhibit bacteria and fungi for 24 hours. After that, the action of the Silver diminishes as the barn dirt eventually overwhelms the Silver, and the Sox must be washed to regain their effectiveness. If your horse has dermatitis, sores, wounds, fungal infections, or an injury, the Sox must be changed at least every 24 hours and replaced with clean Sox so that the cleanest bandage/barrier is always in place over those conditions. Healing can happen when sores/wounds/injuries are protected against insects and the dirt of the environment. Changing the Sox daily ensures that the Silver is at its greatest ability to inhibit microbe growth • • We offer online support and are there for you and your horse ❤️ • #silverwhinnys #soxforhorses #equinepasterndermatitis #mudfevertips #outdoor_functional_wear https://www.instagram.com/p/CLg4Qx5nfsl/?igshid=1jilb3piw6kdm
