Sweet itch is an allergic skin disease affecting sensitive horses and ponies from the bites of midges of the genus Culicoides. The allergic reaction develops at the site of the bite, and in the majority of cases skin lesions develop on the mane and tail and middle of the back, although sometime they are found under the belly, ears and head.
