It's here in N kalif now-My bud Jim almost died and I've been coughing my lungs up for almost 2 weeks before it subsided. No wonder my doc and the hospitol didn't know wtf it was THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THE INFO. You'll never know what the LL hit ya--cutting trees and thinning brush at 1pm,went home and ate,laid down and 1 hour later 104--yes thats right as in cook your brain(mine gone years ago) HORRENDOUS CRAPPOLA, ended up with double pneumonia!!John

I think I'd be really tempted to wear a surgical style mask when out in the bush. An ounce of prevention...

Thumbs up for you John, could'a been a whole lot worse!! You're one very lucky dude, dude!!
