[Tim Rice]

I know someone who ships herbs from CA and would prefer not to disturb the olfactory system of sensitive canines, and he stakes his personal freedom on turkey bags, one inside the other. Says it is undetectable.  Mendo R-H, u may wish to include the turkey bag in your experimental materials.

I am currently doing rodent tests (in my barn) of several pre-packaged foods without additional protection. Also food stored in Ziplock bags and in OPSacks. I have rats and mice in my barn.
