Alsike Poisening

["Julia Thom" <thomlabs@netbistro.com>]

Hi everyone,

I just received a call from a lady and she said that
she lost two horses to alsike poisening.  She said that
the signs were blisters in the horses mouths.  I have a bit
of alsike in both my fields but my horses leave it alone.
It has been there for over 5 yrs and I have never had a problem.
I had scratches for two years in a row but I have had no 
problem this year with scratches.  Was just wondering as this
sounds pretty scary and serious.

Thanks in advance
Julia
