but i'm sending to qsl to see if she ever heard of this- somehow- it does not ring right. Tufts Medical School is the big animal research center here and you could try finding their website- qsl sleeping now- she used to get their newsletter- I can do a quick search now and send it via here if i find it. Kinda makes sense but what bugs exactly? Fleas? If that's the case, fleas could spread Fiv- theoretically, right?
