For what its worth...During pursuit of Architecture Degree during the years '73 -'78 at UTArlington ...I had perhaps 5-6 episodes of Strep throat with all of its encumbrances. This encounter with Strep was repeatetd less frequently over the next 10 yrs. Then in '82 I began working as a Landnscape designer. for the next 5 years i found myself in an enviornment where too much time was spent in teh proximtiy of dry lawn chemicals. This was due to the company's mix of maintenance and design. frequent visits to thte storage area of the chemicals adjacent to things i had reason to be around gives me a second exposure and a cause and effect scenario. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
