Sounds like a possibility. Let's just say you had to choke down the sample 
then rush to the faucet and drink like a dog just to recouperate. The 
dehydration sucks the life out of you. (all said tongue in cheek) :)

I will look into this aspect of the issue in more detail. If I find

Thanks for the info.
