no I think it is equine encephalitis. The pediatricians get to worry about it some years, and headaches are one symptom. Of course the people living near horses were at more risk than others. Maybe it is viral, I don't know. I do remember that we had to worry about it before West Nile came to our neighborhood and killed most of our birds.

**** Hi Kathryn -- I'm unaware of any diseases that can be transmitted to people from horses via mosquitos.  Could you be thinking of West Nile?  This is transmitted to people via mosquitos -- but comes from mosquitos that have bitten infected birds.  Horses are subject to infection this way too, but are an end-recipient, like people -- not a transmittor.  MA
