Years ago, there was a hoof hardener, later marketed as a finger nail 
strengthener, named Barielle.  The original formula included formaldehyde.  
That ingredient was banned because of it's known health risks.  At least in 
New York, where I teach high school, formaldehaye is not allowed in schools 
for the same reason.  Lab specimens now come preserved in a rubbery 
preservative.

Why would I want to use formaldehyde on my horse, given that it could be 
absorbed into her bloodstream, let alone run the risk of absorbing or 
ingesting any myself?  I don't see the logic here.

Befuddled,
Julie
