Heck, I don't know. They had us lined up giving gun shots in both arms at the same time. You know. If I had to guess, I'd probably say no. I'm not sure it was a concern back then....Unrelated, but do you remember offhand (no pun intended), if we were immunized against anthrax in the Navy? I recall we were both in around the same time frame, and I remember getting around a metric crapload of immunizations, but have no idea what any of them were for.

Use two hands! I work the bubble into the corner and then lay a couple fingers flat to keep it there. Then use the other hand (or not a mallot) to give it a quick slap. It actually doesn't take a lot to break it, the key is preventing the bubble from just moving away when you hit it.They used to have a tutorial, (not sure maybe they still do) on wyeasts website about how to smack it by rolling a beer bottle over the bubble or a rolling pin. I have enough trouble just keeping the little SOB in a corner of the pouch still long enough for its whoopin. Never had success w/ the bottle method.

[Mainelybrew] Put some vagisil on it. [/Mainelybrew]Equals Ouch!I'm about six weeks out from the left hand and four months from the right, so I'm generally pretty well recovered. But I smacked a 3944 tonight and it hurt! I've been brewing all summer with dry since I basically only use liquid for 3944 or 3068, so I hadn't considered my hands when smacking the thing.Somebody get me a tissue.
