Beaver Fever! In the morning, Beaver Fever all through the night! You give me beaver fever!

I was in Vermont this past weekend with the East-West-Mid-West crowd (HOLLA) and we went hiking (yes, I actually went hiking for the third time in my life - maybe fourth). While on Mt. Tom, we found a water fountain/well and, before Frannie could take a drink, Freondra said, "I wouldn't drink that - you might get beaver fever." BEAVER FEVER???!!!!! Well, that became the headline for the week, creating too many jokes and giggles to count. But Freondra is right, there is such thing as beaver fever and it is called Giardia, which is a parasite that infects the intestines of humans and animals. Go figure.
