    If you have the disease, old wounds and scars tend to open up again as if they were new.

    Good thing to avoid if you've ever had surgery.

    You folks getting new MINIs best check their gums for bleeding. Some of the new ones I've seen seem to have some kind of dental issue. Maybe Techron comes in a lime flavor.
