When worms are in horses it is said that after a time they eat their stomachs and the horses die. In order to prevent this the owners of the horses go to St. Senan's Lake near Kilrush and give the horses a drink of water. This cure has never been known to fail to banish the worms.
The people believe that as St. Senan banished the serpent from Scattery Island he will also banish the worms from the horses.
It is also said that the water would take no effect as a cure if a woman had anything to do with it.
