what is pony cancer?

[Dusky]

I've seen loads of people mentioninng pony cancer, what exactly is it? I know it looks ugly and it can spread, but what happens to the pony? Do they just turn that salmon pink colour and sit there forevermore looking embarressed?

blah...I don't know....

It is a collector term used to describe the brown or black dots that form on ponies.

Technically, they are a microbial growth that feed on the plasticizer within vinyl. Many different types of vinyl collectibles suffer from this problem.

Here is a good site that goes into detail about the dreaded black dots...
