>>>> My sister, Susan, is living here now and I was asking her about the percentage of horses that got SE when she had her farm in Ontario and we don't have a figure but it wasn't 50% but could have been more like 30%. Still high statistically.
That would be believable to me. As Dr. Sollner-Webb suggested, the percentage might be tied to the length of the bug-season. Anneliese's season would be longer than Ontario's, and unfortunately, ours would be very slightly longer than Anneliese's. Other variables too - wind direction and intensities, etc. would come into play as well, I guess. So, who's going to write the history up - with lots of pictures. :) Karen Thomas, NC
