    [RC] Fungus Among Us - Stephanie_D_Adair


    Well the fungus down here in Texas is about the worst I've seen it in 10
    years.  I've read with interest posts about treatments, and have been
    trying them all.  I've dealt with fungus before, but never like this!
    Yesterday we just finished our round of penicillin shots and tonight I get
    to go out and have another scab pickin' night.  At this point, I've been
    picking scabs, bathing, scrubbing, injecting, too much time at the barn and
    no riding, for 1 MONTH!  I seem to now go into a time warp while pickin',
    maybe I could be compared to a horse that sucks wind, I've got endorphins
    runnin' loose............I can't seem to remember why I'm doing
    this.........and neither can I stop.............how long have I been out
    here?..................it's time for dinner already?!
    
    I'm now suffering with a cold, and have no time to baby myself, just the
    horse, I can't even take the time to blow dry my hair completely, just
    leave it damp and pile it on my head with a clip.  Yes, I'm babbling here,
    but do ya'll see where I'm going with this?  I really don't WANT to go
    here.  Maybe if I just keep rattling on I won't have to come out and say
    it.  But I never imagined, and I'm sure it hasn't crossed anybody else's
    mind who is in the same fungus battle right now as I am.   So I feel folks
    should be aware and probably be cautious......if the conditions are
    right..............ummm............damp...........oh....................OKAY!
    
     I had to add Betadine scrub to my shampoo this morning!
    
    So the moral of this is, please don't treat your horse and then scratch
    your head while chatting with a barn buddy on the way out.
