Brooks: It seems to me that that if your "prophylactic group" was 
experiencing 10% of the "pathogenic afflictions" compared to your 
"non-prophylactic group" then a simple "t" test should provide a resulting 
statistical level of confidence associated with the claim that one group did 
indeed experience prophylactic pathogenic protection from CS. Could you 
please explain was such a statistical evaluation wasn't made, or why you 
think it's not valid to follow such a procedure. I believe that a "t" test 
does NOT require an assumption of normal distribution, if that was what you 
were worried about. Roger
