it's that time of the year again. got to thinking about this when talking to a friend. she complained that she'd been working in her garden and been chewed up by mesquites. she also mentioned that she had not gotten around to immunizing her horses.
thought i'd mention it. i hadn't been thinking about it either. we have only had cases of west nile in oregon for the last two years or so.
it has taken years to make people aware of lyme disease. west nile can be even worse for many. the neurological consequences can be long term and severe. for horses that become symptomatic, there is a 50% loss either by death or loss of use.

Kathy, old post, lost by the wayside. Didn't hear too much of the West Nile Virus this year. Was it more common down south than before? Best of this great day, the wonderful life to go with it. Cindi
