Friedrich Loeffler discovered the cause of foot and mouth disease in 1897 as being a viral disease. He discovered this from passing infected FMD blood through a filter and the fluid that came out could still infect a healthy animal.

How did Ignaz Semmelweis change the way you look at disease?
Semmelweis noticed that the death rates in mothers during pregnancy was unusually high. He noticed that the doctors in his hospital were going straight from examining diseased dead bodies in the morgue to delivering babies, and thought that perhaps this meant that they were transferring disease from the corpses to the mothers. He suggested that all doctors thoroughly wash their hands between patients, and almost immediately the death rate fell. This was the first time that the idea of infectious disease (passing disease via a pathogenic medium, i.e. bacteria and viruses) was considered. before this, contracting diseases was put down to chance.

This could be caused by anything from infectious disease to results of a traumatic accident. More information would be necessary to hazard even a guess as to what sort of problem the horse has. A call to the veterinarian to discuss what is seen would be recommended in order to make a more educated decision as to whether or not it warrents a veterinary visit or not.
If in contact with someone with Swine Flu should you get tested?
Testing is usually reserved for hospitalized cases since the treatment would be the same regardless of the exact type of the virus if you are not that ill. If you know you have been exposed to someone who was infectious with swine flu (H1N1/09), then as long as you are otherwise healthy, you should wait and watch to see if you begin to have any of the symptoms. Exposure does not guarantee transmission of the virus, but in case you are incubating it, you will want to use all precautions to avoid passing it along to others, you can be infectious to others before you even show signs. See related question below for information about the symptoms and prevention. Then, if you have or think you have the flu, see the related question below for information about what to do. If you have been exposed and you have an immunological disease or disorder, or other serious medical conditions, then seek advice from your primary health care professional.
