BTW...Did you ever read about how Sodium Warfarin was discovered and how it was once used as rat poison? Interesting story.
It is still used as a rat poison. We have had mice in a couple places we've lived ... tried trapping them, but these are sneaky things, so we decided to go the poison route. You can get rat/mice poison with warfarin as it's main ingredient, or with another poison.
I developed the cold intolerance about 6 months in. I've ridden in all sorts of conditions, and all of a sudden you couldn't convince me to go out for a ride when it was a bit chilly and drizzly. I'd get home after work and lie on the sofa wrapped in a blanket.
