      I was visiting a web site where they have the pictures of 
deformed foals (the one with it's front leg's missing is featured and 
others) and postings about people's misfortunes  from deaths to 
stallion fertility going down to zero, all sorts of birth defects, 
etc., that they attribute to occurring after having vaccinated with 
the WNV vaccine.

       One of the postings said that small amounts of salt in water 
troughs and salt blocks thrown into ponds will instantly kill 
mosquito larva.

      Does anyone know what the ratio of salt to water in a trough 
would accomplish this without negative affects on the horses?  And in 
ponds, are there safe levels to do with without injuring innocent 
bystanders like fish and dragon flies and bass bugs ... and the 
environment??
