Hmmm? I guess one doesn't have to have them all to qualify. There have been several TSA meetings where I experienced an hallucinatory sense of floating outside my body, but I'm fairly sure it had nothing to do with chigger bites--but who knows? Fatigue has been a common theme at the end of most days following hard work or caving and caver politics. Fever is essentially unknown to me except when I have the flu. General Malaise has been a standard symptom throughout my life. It's good to know that I now have something to blame it on. --Ediger --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: texascavers-unsubscr...@texascavers.com For additional commands, e-mail: texascavers-h...@texascavers.com
