Cob: rats?

[Charmaine]

the navy showed me a photo of a baby whose cheek had been bitten through 
because a rat wanted the milk inside. sorry about being so lurid, but 
rats don't get any of the consideration i give other animals, since i 
saw that photo.

David--
the US Navy?  was this a training photo?  are you certain?  There is 
another urban legend about cats sucking the air from a baby's mouth to 
get the milk( taste)...but this is not true.(old tale to  keep cats away 
from cribs most likely).

.I am NOT  challenging you, just curious as to the reason the  Navy was 
providing this photo.  I'm ex -Navy-dental corps myself, and never saw 
anything like this with all our medical/health  training!


OT comment--
One of the BEST  scarey  ads for sanitation EVER done was a magazine 
photo of a big ugly rat with a dotted line around it.. the headline. 
"Cut this out and put it in bed next to your child"   .sure motivated 
people to keep a clean house, and prevent intrusion of the beasties!!!


I have a hard time keeping field mice out of the studio..too many gaps 
in the old redwood boards, thru open soffit areas not yet closed 
up..they even ate the dry corn decorations and flowers from Thanksgiving 
table decoration that was in storage, and chewed thru good fabric I was 
saving for sewing projects!!
