Hey, if you wanna know something bad re "fur" (not cat or dog fur):
in Sunday's paper I read some guy from NY went to Africa and
brought back several goat skins as he makes drums with "skin"
drumheads (did you know lotsa drums have animal skin "heads"
(the part they drum on)?)....anyway shortly after he got back to
the states he came down with airborne *anthrax* from those
goat skins, which were loaded with the spores. He is under
intensive care in a Penn. hospital now.
I wouldn't have been surprised if it had been ebola or flesh-eating
faciitis (sp?) but *anthrax*!?? Anyway, how's that for animal
revenge? I've passed this 411 on to a relative who plays congas
in several bands and knows people who mfgr.and repair drums.
