Put a small glass of water in the fridge. There should be a good 3 or 4 inches (10 cm) of water in the glass. Let it sit there all day or overnight, then put the skewer part of the instant read thermometer in and let it sit there for 30 seconds or so.efrigerator Thermometers will measure temperature ranges between a low of -40Â°F and a high of 60Â°F (-40Â°C and 15Â°C.) They can be used both for the freezer and the fridge.
Extension > Agriculture > Livestock > Horse > Horse health > Strangles. Strangles is a highly contagious bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus equi. It can be spread by horse-to-horse contact or when humans, tack, drinking troughs, etc. becoming contaminated with the pus or nasal discharge from affected horses. Horses that have not been exposed to the bacteria in recent years are particularly susceptible because their immunity usually declines over time.
Nasal secretions are assumed to be the source of S. equi in these animals. A horse just recovering from strangles may have prolonged shedding of S. equi. These horses are known as long-term sub-clinical carriers of S. equi, and can be the source of infection for naive naÃ¯ve. horsest can survive for long periods of time out of the body and horses can become infected with the bacteria months after an infection had been noted an a specific property. The bacteria is transmitted by inhalation of dust and respiratory secre-tions that contain the organism.
