DEDUCTIBLE?/ Yerba Mate

I am aware that if in cold weather, one wipes one's clayey hands on =
one's derriere, the skin will chap, and itch, and scratching ensues. =
This clearly is a newly diagnosed occupational hazard, and we will have =
to read both Rossol and Zamek on it.

Still. Is the cortisone cream one buys for the dermatitis tax =
deductible as a business expense?

Bonnie, my dear, I am just tweaking you a little. You are a love, and I =
am grateful to you, as well to all who give generously of their =
knowledge.

As to Mate. It is a very pleasant drink--if you like the flavor. It =
tastes like nothing else I know. South Americans make medicinal claims =
for it, have no idea if any are true. I do know it is drunk as =
constantly and generally as iced tea in our South.

Blessings to all
