MILWAUKEE -- A Watertown man who reported having flu-like symptoms is tested for a possible case of anthrax.
The FBI and hospital officials say the 40-year-old man went to the emergency room at Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital this morning complaining of minor flu-like symptoms.
FBI special agent Barry Babler says preliminary observations don't indicate the man had contracted anthrax, but more tests were ordered.

Hospital spokeswoman Sarah Estell says the man told hospital staff he received a piece of mail that contained a white, powdery substance about two weeks ago.

A Florida man was killed by the disease last week, and anthrax was found in the nasal passages of his co-worker. Federal investigators are looking into the source of the anthrax, which can be used as a biological weapon.
