No Bill, There was no F&M in the Netherlands until this recent outbreak in Great Britain in February. I spoke to Bob yesterday and they have had no new outbreaks in over two weeks. There have been recent outbreaks in France, Belgium and I believe Germany since the first cases were documented in England. How long could the virus live in ones nasal passages or on one's clothes, do you know? I believe the incubation period in cloven hooved animals is 7 to 14 days is that correct? I just read that on April 5th the Minister of Ag in Holland lifted restrictions on horse travel, but for some reason we can't get permission for my horses to travel to the airport. Now that spring is finally here I'm anxious to get them home and start driving them. Vivian Creigh
