Jana - Yes, I'vealso noticed there are a lot of people on here who have worked with horses. I'm glad you brought that up because I have often wondered about that and often thought of posting about that. It strikes me that there are more people than chance would predict who post here who have had a lot of contact with horses. Of course that's just an impression and hardly scientific, but it makes me really curious. I'm a city girl and know nothing about horses but I've wondered if you use a lot of chemicals? Or some type of say shampoo or cleaner that is very common to people who care for horses?

Ally, I was never too much into the shampoo or even the fly sprays when I owned horses. But, I do remember several years ago the idea of a connection between indoor pets and MS. So, now I am wondering about horses and MG. Viruses maybe??
I can even remember my mom talking about this -- I was born in the mid 50's -- so, this could definitely apply to me:
Equine antitoxin was the only product available for the prevention of tetanus prior to the mid 1940s. It was used for postexposure prophylaxis until the late 1950s, when tetanus immune globulin was introduced. Tetanus toxoid has never contained any horse protein.
