Hopefully not civet cat :-) I remember the son of a HK Tycoon died after visiting India from (I think) Amoebic something or another back in 75. It happened the same time we moved to US so I remember it. All that money and they couldn't do anything either! When we were in India for a week, we even made sure to brush our teeth with boiled or bottle water and wouldn't you know it, when we were driving to the Bangalore airport for departure, we got stomach problem!!! I am hoping to make it to China some times next year, our friends say the water in the big cities are OK, at least you can brush your teeth without worrying (too much?) // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
