Re: strangles
Best to keep away from horses and their equiptment........"Once inside a stable or yard, strangles can spread quickly through direct contact between horses or via indirect contact, - tack and equipment - shared drinking bowls and feed - clothing - hands
It is thought that the bacteria can survive in water for at least four weeks, and up to eight weeks on tack or wood.
Once transmitted, signs of disease usually occur after 3-14 days, with abscesses formed up to 2 weeks following infection. "
