I do know that HOGPC was trying to get together a study on the subject a
few years ago but the funding wasn't there so it was dropped, the info I
gleaned from that would lead me to have it checked if it was a possible
problem. I would also try and contact Linda Weisser or Cathrine De La
Cruz on the GPCA health committee as they could probably shed more light
on the subject.
