Mother-biter ferrets.  Now that's a new one on me.  With respect to perfume
or hand lotion or other skin additives, well maybe; however, I have received
blood-letting punctures on the back of my hands, my wrists, and especially
on the top of the forearm close to the inside of the elbow.
 
Now I wasn't wearing any perfume or such; I'm a man.  My members were washed
and clean, so the fact that the ferret bloodied me has to be due to
something other than the scent of a skin additive.  Also I haven't noticed
that the female sex is more apt to bloody one than the male.  So, I don't
know why ferrets do this, expecially to strangers.
 
They do possess an uncanny knack for sensing human flesh that has cloth
stretched tightly over it; for example, once when squatting on the floor and
playing with a group of juvenile ferrets, one of the group bit me right
through my pants and underwear.  It was very embarassing explaining to my
urologist how I got four punctures on my manhood .  .  .  right on the end
too.
 
For a while there, I thought he was going to call me 5-streams Edward.
 
However, there is a procedure to just about eliminate that practice of
purposeful bloodletting and it involves Ferrets NorthWest's 3-step Bonding
Technique currently available on the FML Christmas sales listings.
