I see that as kinda the same situation as Europeans bringing diseases to the Native Americans. Or, on a more current theme, "don't drink the water in Mexico" for us, while the people who live in Mexico have no problems with their water at all. It's all what the body is used to and a new country will have different bacterial running around. West Nile may not be a big thing over there because it's been around for a long time and y'all's bodies are all used to dealing with it. It's new here and there are no built up immunes or whatever, so it hits harder. For me, what made me decide to vaccinate my herd was Texas A&M. They sent out the recommendation for Texas to do it. I figure a large Vet School would be more up on the broad impact of a virus/sickness than my local vet, so we vaccinated on TAMU's say so. --- Rae Callaway --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Tall C Arabians - SE Texas =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
