Horse Hair (potentially dangerous)

In a press release today, the National Institute of Health has announced the discovery of a potentially dangerous substance in the hair of horses. This substance, called "amo-bacter equuii" has been linked with the following symptoms in female humans: reluctance to cook; reluctance to perform housework; reluctance to wear anything but boots; reluctance to work except in support of a horse; and physical craving for contact with horses (may be an addiction).

Beware! If you come in contact with a female human affected by this substance be prepared to talk about horses for hours on end.

A public service announcement.
