Bill, No disrespect -- indeed your nomenclature may be right. However, while reading your reply, I kept getting snagged on the word 'fungus'. I began thinking you were onto something new, and began conjuring up images of foot sprays as a possible cure. I finally pulled out my (old) Webster's New World dictionary: fun-gus, n. 1. any of a group of plants, including mildews, molds, mushrooms, rusts, etc., that have no leaves, flowers, or green color and reproduce by means of spores. 2. something that grows rapidly like a fungus. 3. in medicine, a spongy, diseased growth on the body. ver-di-gris n. a green or greenish-blue coating that forms like rust on brass, bronze, or copper. So what say? Instead of the old ways of treatment, perhaps we should we start carrying aerosol cans of fungicide? After checking with my pharmacist, I found that Desenex and Tenactin are not only much cheaper than Protek, they're also more readily available. 8-} -3- [quoted snippets] >Any tubular rail actions in that period will suffer from the residue of [fungus]. >This [fungus] seems to enjoy the environment created by the factory treatment. >The use of high heat to kill the [fungus] seems to have some success... >Some believe that the [fungus] will appear again, but that is not likely for decades.
