Studying Breathing Problems in Horses May Help Humans With Asthma
Adults with asthma struggle to breathe when they are exposed to dust and allergens. They can exhale without too much difficulty, but their inflamed lungs with narrowed airways make it hard to inhale enough oxygen, and the mucus in their airways leads to coughing.
When horses have the same symptoms, the condition is called “heaves.” In Ontario, where most horses are stabled indoors much of the time, it’s very common. “Any barn owner with 10 or more horses will know about heaves,” says Dorothee Bienzle, a pathobiology professor at the Ontario Veterinary College.....
