To Bill Gradwohl,

I just finished reading the book  "It's all in your head. The link between
Mercury Amalgams and Illness" by Dr. Hal A. Huggins.

In it, "Bag Balm" is listed under "Veterinary preparations" as a source of =
toxic
Mercury along with scores of other things. It may help in one area, but =
then may
hurt in another. I just thought a warning was in order.

You might be interested to know that Hal Huggins - a Colorado dentist - has,
at least for a time, lost his license to practice dentitry for the approach
he has taken with respect to mercury and his patients.  He has been accused
of being a quack and it has stuck - at least with all of mainstream,
organized dentistry.  While I certainly don't think modern science has all
the answers on any subject, I would be very hesitant to use Hal Huggins as a
source of scientific data.

Check further - if you're still worried about Bag Balm, then by all means
avoid it.  Millions of farmers have been using it for the past century or
so, I think.
