What does FARCY mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A chronic infectious disease of horses and other equines, a form of glanders that produces nodules and ulcers under the skin.
Farcy is caused by the same bacterium responsible for glanders and mainly affects the skin and lymphatic vessels of horses, donkeys and mules, producing hard swellings that can burst into open sores. Veterinary writers historically distinguished farcy, the skin form of the disease, from glanders proper, which centers on the respiratory system, though the two are now understood to be the same underlying infection. The disease was greatly feared in earlier centuries because it could also pass to humans and was often fatal before modern treatment. Farcy is now rare in most countries thanks to control measures, and the term today appears mainly in veterinary history and older records.
