I said that backwards. It applies to everyone handling the parah adumah
EXCEPT the one sprinking.

Still, my point remains. The puzzle of the choq is more than just
metaheir the tamei and metamei the tahor, because the PA water isn't
metamei every tahor person who touches it.


Thanks to R AZ Zivitofsky for the correction. He deserves extra credit
for trying to do so off list and not embarasess me publicly. But, he is
hereby thwarted.

Tir'u baTov!
