Kirt,

 and comeback when remoistirized (as in when saliva-ed) I don't know. >>

Thanks for your honest answer.  I've been eating low-temp dried ostrich and
buffalo lately, yummy ;), and feel great!  Better and better actually, it's
getting pretty amazing...

Life is constant risk.

Beliefs are more dangerous than bacteria?

Guess I'll see what happens...
