And he's right, of course, but I'm pretty sure Kitty was thinking along the 
lines of "all dogs get rabies shots; do al horses get worming meds?"

Now here's useful info!  But I wonder how many volunteer manure-takers will 
be in a position to extract the same level of detail from their sources.

I haven't noticed any paucity of worms in my raised beds since applying the 
very well-aged manures I use either.
