Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis:
After infection, equines may suddenly die or show progressive central nervous system disorders. Humans also can contract this disease. Healthy adults who become infected by the virus may experience flu-like symptoms, such as high fevers and headaches. People with weakened immune systems and the young and the elderly can become severely ill or die from this disease.
Interesting timing. What do you think?

you thinking about the horses that died in Wellington , FL as well not to mention the obvisou refrence to swine flu….?
or maybe a way that could have helped the virus mutate more?
as usual ….a army investigation does not show any incidence of wrong doing……just like all those accurate investigations into soldiers deaths…..like the american patriot who played for the Arizona Cardinals……….just ask his parents what they think of army investigations….
worth checking into more…..good "question"

In the mid 90′s this same Urban Legend surfaced, when Ebola and another virus scare came around. That it was stolen Army Biological Weapons. The myth actually lead to a movie called Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman based on that story. Watch the movie, what you wrote is practically part of the script.
Oh yeah, I’m in the Army. So yeah it’s bs.

Vets blame toxin as 21 polo horses die
Tuesday, April 21, 2009 ยป 02:51pm
The sudden death of 21 polo horses at a championship event in Florida may have been caused by a toxin in the animals’ feed or supplements, veterinarians said.
The horses from the Venezuelan-owned team Lechuza Caracas became ill just before a tournament match Sunday, collapsing and dying on the scene or while being treated at vet clinics or transported, officials said.
The deaths shocked this affluent equestrian and golfing community in central Palm Beach County, where the International Polo Club Palm Beach hosts the US Open Polo Championship every year.
‘This was devastating. It was heartbreaking, to see that many horses get sick all at once,’ said John Wash, president of club operations.
Dr Scott Swerdlin, a veterinarian at Palm Beach Equine Clinic near the polo grounds, treated one of the sick horses.
He said it appeared the animals died of heart failure caused by some kind of toxin that could have been in tainted food, vitamins or supplements, or by some combination of all three that caused a toxic reaction.
‘A combination of something with an error in something that was given to these horses caused this toxic reaction,’ Swerdlin told reporters.
Toxicology tests were pending Monday.
The 60-horse team is owned by Venezuelan banker Victor Vargas but most of the horses and players are Argentine, Swerdlin said. The team travels most of the year.
Swerdlin said the 21 horses together were worth up to $US2 million ($A2.77 million).
‘It would take 10 years to build that string back up,’ he said.
The International Polo Club said in a statement that polo horses are thoroughbreds who often get used in play into their mid-teens and are frequently rotated during a match.
Officials said they have ruled out any sort of airborne infections, and games would resume on Wednesday.
‘This was an isolated incident involving that one team,’ Wash said
