Coyote Breath: I'll try your advice about Dial soap. We get ticks real bad. The town they named the disease after (Lymes) is just up the road from me. I got infected last year. I was lucky to get the bulls-eye spot that clearly indicates you have it, sometimes there is no spot. The medication worked well but prevents me from donating blood for a year (I get four hours vaction time for donating) and makes you REAL sensitive to the sun. I went to a festival last year and had to sit in the sun most of the day. I sunburned the hell out of my hands! I've never sunburnt my hands. Uncomfortable as all get out.

Pied Piper: Sometimes the puffballs get to the size of basketballs and larger. I've never eaten one either. I think you need to make sure they are very white inside. There is a false morel so make sure you know what you have! Then just sautee them in butter and enjoy, I think they are fantastic.

Good Hunting, Knappo
