Dontman, I agree 100% that this condition is EXTREMELY RARE, with only a handful of cases reported even in the last decade among the millions and millions of dogs out there.
However, there have been enough cases out there to spread just enough information that this topic comes up very regularly. because of this and the amount of misinformation out there, I wrote the aforementioned post to try and help alleviate some of the hysteria that goes along with it, and try and cut down on some of the "wow have you heard about this?" and "my dog sniffed my hop plant, should I go to the vet?" posts.
I also agree that dogs should never have the opportunity to get into things like hops, but hey, accidents happen, and for those we must prepare.
