Bank of America is in its strongest capital position ever (thanks in part to timely assistance from the U.S. Treasury and the Fed's interest-lowering activities), but customers in its commercial lending division aren't biting.
Ms Dean and Dr Siva-Jothy were testing the idea that fine body hairs (known, technically, as vellus and terminal hairs) are there to alert their owner to creepy crawlies such as bed bugs, which might be intent on biting them, and that the hair may also get in the way of such arthropods' activities, giving the owner more time to react before he is bitten.
