Subject: Resources that I though folks might enjoy having
--
Personally, the ones of these that I use the most for health issues
are the FHL, the afip site, and miamiferret, but have used and
learned from almost all of these, with the FML, ferretcentral, anf
afip being used the longest of them.
Important note: it appears that anything that is associated in the
lists with the names "Acme" and "Howard or Anne Davis" now link
directly into a very overt porn site but a number of the website
owners have not changed those entries, so avoid that; also, there is
a rabies site that says on it's front page that it has not been
updated since 1997 but since then things have radically improved.)
