Do you know the state where this person resides?  Is the area he stables his 
horse selenium deprived?  The CS might not be a factor. 

**** Hi Dianne.  No -- I don't know where this person lives.  The same thought 
crossed my mind -- that the selenium deficiency was a result of forage or feed 
that was selenium-deficient.  I highly doubt that CS is a factor, but rather is 
being misconstrued as the culprit.  I was hoping that the knowledgeable folks 
here could debunk the theory with facts -- so that I could go back with an 
intelligent rebuttal, and suggest other causes.  Thanks for your thoughts -- 
they're good ones.  MA
