Hi David - I guess it's Sunday already where you are. It's Saturday night here, and I am reading about anthrax. I am rather miffed at myself because I can't find my big bottle of leftover doxycillin. It was a couple of years old, and I may have thrown it away. Anyway, that's what you take for anthrax. (I was taking it as a DMARD for rheumatoid arthritis - didn't do much.) If you get infected cutaneously or through ingestion, treatment is with antibiotics and the vaccine at the same time. Fatality rate is around 5-20% for untreated contact anthrax, and the antibiotics work pretty well (less than 1% fatality). But if you inhale it, it's almost always fatal. Apparently Iraq is really big on chemical and biological warfare weapons - that's one reason we keep bombing them, and one reason we don't get up close and personal. That's what "weapons of mass destruction" means. I suppose it could be considered mean to bomb people just because they like to stockpile chemical and biological warfare material. We could try giving peace a chance, right? "All we are saying, is give peace a chance." Clap together! Hey, I am already vaccinated against smallpox. Wonder if it still works? fas.org
