The bacteria that causes thrush in horses is also found in the mucous membranes of humans. However, it is not clear how tissue actually becomes infected. It is not really known if thrush can be transmitted from horses to humans. So, to be on the safe side, practice proper hygiene and thoroughly wash your hands with disinfectant after treating a horse with thrush. A diluted bleach solution is a great, inexpensive disinfectant that you can use for a variety of applications around your barn.
