Title: Anthrax in news papers? Rut Roh
Post by: Sky Viper on October 08, 2001, 08:04:00 AM
I couldn't find that post from last week, but here is case #2 in Florida, and they worked at the same plant.
ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/DailyNews/anthrax_fla011008.html)

I'm not to knowlegable on how well Anthrax carries in mediums such as a News Paper, but if you have ever seen a New Paper being made, then you could imagine how easy it would be to introduce a bit of anthrax into the process.  Simply dumping a few small containers into the mix.
The question on my mind is, can anthrax survive the paper process/chemicals, and in turn, could a reader flipping pages inhale a sufficient amount to be affected?
