>-Anthrax <

Do you have a URL or news story for the "3rd case" of Anthrax? I thought I heard on the news that it was not Anthrax.

Also...the "2nd case" of Anthrax is someone who does not currently have Anthrax, but the bacteria was found in his nasal passage.

An interesting article that I saw posted yesterday:

"Bill Patrick, who was involved in the U.S. biological warfare program at Fort Detrick, Md., before the United States signed an international treaty banning such programs in the early 1970s, said it may be that inhalation anthrax is a bit more common than has been thought but that cases have been misdiagnosed. Stevens's case may be the first of several that will be identified, he said, now that health departments are becoming more vigilant.

"We are all primed to look for anthrax behind every tree now," he said."

washingtonpost.com

IMO there is a fine line between being cautious and paranoid...and too many people IMO are becoming completely paranoid. There are crazy people in this world....and they existed before the attacks on September 11th. Now every incident is being credited to the terrorists.

The terrorists seem to be winning their battle by making many Americans too scared to go about their everyday lives.
