- I just read a UPI article in Clarinet which I will not repost because
- it is copyrighted. The gist of it is that a Dr. Henry Feder of the
- Univ. of CT has found that deer tics do not tend to bite people at
- nudist camps but do bite the same people when not at the camp. He
- theorizes that the tics like to get under the clothing where they
- are protected. Hence no clothes, no tics, no Lyme disease.
-
- I have about 20 smart remarks to make but I'll save them. :-)
