"Mange: A Historical and Ongoing Battle Against a Persistent Skin Condition" In the world of sports, names like Josh Lewsey, Jerome Thion, and Oliver Mange evoke memories of fierce competition and athletic prowess. However, there is another side to the word "mange" that goes beyond fame and glory. During World War I, even horses were not spared from the clutches of mange. These noble creatures had to endure treatment for this distressing skin condition alongside their human counterparts' battles on the front lines. Meanwhile, in London 1924, an advertisement for Birds Blanc-Mange captured people's attention. Little did they know that while they indulged in this sweet treat, animals were suffering from mange-related issues back home. "Soignons la basse-cour, " said a brave war hen. This courageous poultry fought her own battle against mange during wartime. Her resilience symbolized the strength needed to overcome adversity in times of struggle. The temptation faced by Eve with the serpent may seem unrelated at first glance but serves as a metaphorical reminder that even biblical stories allude to challenges such as mange throughout history. Domestic sheep also fell victim to Psoroptic Mange caused by pesky Psoroptes mites. Whether grazing or biting side-by-side in pastures, these innocent creatures endured discomfort due to this persistent skin condition. Not only domestic sheep suffered; European Red Foxes also scratched their infected skin with open wounds caused by mange infestation. The pain inflicted upon them was evident as they sought relief through scratching motions. Microscopically speaking, SEM images revealed intricate details of these troublesome mites responsible for causing mange in various species. Their presence highlighted how microscopic organisms can wreak havoc on larger beings if left unchecked. Whether it be famous athletes like Lewsey or Thion or historical events like WWI or biblical tales like Eve's temptation – one thing remains constant: the battle against mange persists.
