[cool][#0000FF]Good work. I DID recommend that nobody should use them without proper clearance from a doc. I have already checked with mine...a long time ago. He even okayed OCCASIONAL use of quinine...in small doses...but advised against regular or heavy use. When I lived in Arizona I was able to buy pure quinine when going across the border on fishing trips to Mexico. No mas. Not available anywhere.
Like yourself, I satisfied myself that the extremely small dose of quinine in the cramp pills was not likely to turn me into a big Utah Lake bobber. I have been using them for over 10 years...and eating the fish out of Utah Lake. At my age I will be lucky to live another 10 years...with or without cramps.
There are two other factors in getting "tubers' trauma" (cramps). One is constriction from wearing waders or fins that are too tight. The other is the cold water itself. If you are not properly insulated against the cold...or if you are TOO insulated and circulation is restricted...your muscles will rebel.
I much prefer fishing in the warm waters of summer when a pair of light pants and a pair of divers' booties is all I need for watery comfort...no waders.
