The CDC and Diseases from Horses
Although horses can pass diseases to people, you are not likely to get sick from touching or owning them. However, when you do common chores with horses, such as cleaning stalls, grooming them, and picking out their feet, you are probably touching manure without knowing it. To protect yourself from getting sick, you should thoroughly wash your hands with running water and soap after contact with horses or their manure. Horses can carry different germs that make people sick. Some of these germs are common and some are rare. For example, horses often carry the bacterium Salmonella. This germ causes salmonellosis (sal-MON-el-oh-sis) in people. Horses also can carry Cryptosporidium (krip-toe-spo-RID-dee-um). This germ causes the disease cryptosporidiosis (krip-TOE-spo-rid-ee-O-sis) in people. |
