Re: Anthrax
AFAIK, anthrax is naturally occuring in the dirt all around us and generally is not a problem unless the body is exposed to large enough amounts, the immune system is compromised or some other fairly rare circumstances. The military takes particularly nasty strains and somehow makes them (weaponized) more able to cause disease and death. |
