I hope I've left enough time for all the various feeds to work their
magic and return all the votes.

The next deal goes to Hugo Kornelis who romped away with 6 natural
points for his tropical medicine def. Tim Bourne and Dave
Cunningham share the much-sought-after runners up position with 4
points apiece. Two of you guessed correctly that CRIPPAWN is a
disease of cattle.

Over to you, Hugo.
