Bill N. Sent us the link to an article by two doctors on how to remove ticks. Bill's comment: "It connects to a summary on how to remove ticks and more importantly how to avoid being their dinner."

A reminder that the WRSA has another Practical Medicine course scheduled, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, June 20 to June 22. They now have just one or two seats still available. This is excellent, very affordable training that is taught by an Emergency Room doctor with many years of practical experience. The course is subtitled: "Field Expedient Medical Care for Outdoorsmen in Austere Environments." This course will fill you in on the things that the Red Cross doesn't teach, like dealing with pneumothorax and gunshot wounds.
