strangles
Cuts off breath
Strangles is a highly contagious bacterial infection in horses, causing swollen lymph nodes around the throat that can obstruct breathing—hence the name.
The barn was quarantined after an outbreak of strangles.
In finance, a strangles position involves buying or selling both a call and put option on the same asset at different strike prices.
