I was able to get the the site and find this direct link to the article. http://www.canada.com/search/story.html?id= 6c62efe4-c71c-4781-96f0-659650229a8a or go to http://www.canada.com/national/ and search on "ferret". The issue is that the ferrets need to be 3-4 months old, and verified free of human flu antibodies. Interesting quote from a researcher: "Poor little fellas. They're great little things. We don't like using them but we have to sometimes, unfortunately." Linda Iroff Oberlin OH [Posted in FML issue 4414]
