mjfdl, thanks for the update In this time of heightened awareness, we need to know all we can. Although recent terrorist attacks have lead many to believe that germ warfare is next on their agenda, many people do not know that cases of anthrax pop up here and there once in a while, and are unrelated to terrorism or mass outbreaks. I've read that sometimes workers in the animal rendering or sheep shearing business face exposure with some frequency. I hope this case is also an isolated one rather than part of an larger evil scheme.
