most often i find my greatest source of stress to be OPS  ( other peoples stupidity )

It is better to keep ones mouth shut and be thought of as a fool than to open ones mouth and in so doing remove all doubt.

I know several horse owners that use honey in any type of dressings they apply to the horses for antiseptic.
