Eeeeeeeewwwwwww .... I've subjected my corpus to some rather bizarre and
cavalier treatment. But that just sounds scary - which, considering the season
.........

So long as we're sure the thing will not re-infect. I shall have to make a note
to myself to ask Dr. Dynda if I still have mine or if it went with the gall

Hoping you have a desirable outcome to this latest adventure ......
