Hallo the List,
Capt Lahti (retired Fire Chief!) does know his stuff, but I think we're talking about the same thing. Throw matches all day long at a lump of coal and not a problem, but do it to coal dust (read black powder dust in a powder horn) and kiss your...ah...friends good by. I yeild to the Capt... (they won't torch the tipi cause I hid the whiskey in there!)
Ymos,
Steve

I almost had the vaccine, but found put from a few avid hunters in this
area that about 28% of the folks that has had the vaccine have come down
with symptons similar to the disease, so beware! Also a friend sent me
an address which I have not looked at, abcnewsgo.com I believe, article
was concerned with a lawsuit against the vaccine.

<FONT SIZE=+0>Ho the list</FONT>I
have something serious to talk about so listen up. It ain't history
oriented, but that's too bad. Last fall my brother contracted lymes
disease, a tick borne infectious disease that is getting more widespread
daily. He has been hospitalized several times and has some scary
symptoms. Some people die from the disease, but it is more often
just dibilitating. His doctor told him that he will be off work a
minimum of six months, but more likely at least a year. Luckily his
employer, the City of Arlington, Texas, is being very cooperative and between
workman's comp and the city he will continue to receive his full salary.
Yes, I said workman's comp. His occupation, utility worker,
is among the most widely affected groups and with the excellent documentation
my brother provided he was approved for workman's comp. In fact,
he is thought to be the first person in Texas to be approved for
workman's comp due to lymes disease.Lymes disease is contracted from a
tick about the size of a grain of coarse pepper, not the big dog ticks
that you can actually see. The disease is widespread all over the
USA and is approaching epidemic proportions in some areas. My brother's
doctor said that state tourism departments are downplaying the disease
for fear of scaring off tourists. How do you like that?!Any of us
who use the outdoors, and who uses the outdoors more that buckskinners?,
are subject to infection and should make ourselves aware of the dangers
and possible preventive measures. There is a vaccine, LYMErix, that
goes a long way toward preventing infection. I have included below
a couple of sites to find out more about this disease and about the vaccine.
I intend to get the vaccine immediately and I urge everybody to read this
and any other information about lymes disease and decide for themselves
what is best for them.My brother told me that he will gladly talk to anybody
about his case and effects it has had on his life. He asks that you
call no later than 9:00pm Central Time. My brother's name is Danney
Ratcliff and his phone number is 817 483 0588YMOSLanney Ratcliff <FONT SIZE=+0><A HREF="http://lymerix.com/">http://lymerix.com/</A></FONT> <FONT SIZE=+0><A HREF="http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/148ba2.htm">http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/148ba2.htm</A></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>
