   I have a quesion, the horses at 20 MT that have not appeared to get sick,
as in the 6 horses from Bakersfield that all did the 100, could they carry
or shed the germ even though they appeared never to get strangles? None have
had snotty noses or off feed or any sign we have noticed. It has been 3.2
weeks since 20 MT.
