Mike,  have you noticed that apostrophes (My god, I think I spelled that
right w/o a checker) are being translated into exclamation points in some
mail?

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a synthetic polymer widely used as a
nonstick surface in cookware, release! s toxic pyrolysis products when
exposed to excessive heat. Thirty-two budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus)
were exposed to pyrolysis products of either heated PTFE cookware or plain
aluminum cookware in a specially designed exposure chamber for given
periods. Clinical signs were recorded and necropsies were done on all birds
at the termination of each exposure period. The PTFE products caused acute
respiratory distress and rapid death in many of the exposed birds. At
necropsy, lesions were seen only in the respiratory tract--extensive
pulmonary hemorrhage and congestion.
