Long term effects on host.

Asphyxia (not being able to breath) caused by the enlarged lymph nodes closing over the wind pipe.

Bastard strangles (strangles symptoms spreading all over the body) pneumonia, abscesses, heart disease and possably death.

mortality is usually 1 in 10 horses effected with strangles but if the horse that has strangles has no complications then the mortality is lower.
