All Dorset Hospitality Hash House Harriers

ADH4 Gene

• The alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) family constitutes one of the key sets of enzymes responsible for the oxidation of alcohol.

• The ADH4 gene, an important member of this family, is a functional and positional candidate for alcohol dependence.

• European Americans, with the gene, have a heightened propensity to alcohol dependence & drug abuse.

• These are the results from clinical HWD Tests & Case Control Association Studies.

• ADH4: Probably the most apt name for hashers worldwide!

Personal Risk Assessment & Mitigation

• You do take part at your own risk & that includes any pets that accompany you.

• If there is any doubt as to your dog's behaviour, then please keep it on a lead.

• ​Running, walking & socialising in the open air is as safe as it gets.

• Keeping fit is a good way to de-stress - it releases the happy hormones!

• Being fit can minimise the impact of any infection: be it cold, flu or the coronavirus. All infections though, are contagious. Wear a face mask &/or latex gloves if you feel safer doing so - go on, give us a laugh!

Livestock & Wildlife Health Status and Hashing

• Please respect the countryside, livestock & wildlife alike.

• Leave only footprints, take only pictures.

• Enjoy yourself: take pleasure in the countryside & the views.
