Oh great, back to holding my breath when getting the mail at home (and now I also have to open mail at work as well). Sigh... :(

sorry "Z" but you didn't read it right Quote "Tom Day, vice president for engineering at the Postal Service, emphasized that the tests were being performed "out of an abundance of caution" and said there is no evidence of anthrax contamination or any health risk to postal workers or the public"

BTW, I read the CNN article, and What he said is simple smoke and mirrors.. He doesn't want people to start freaking out...

A quote: "It is not clear whether the possible anthrax might have come from a letter or any other piece of mail, Day said, though the sample was "generally gathered" from the mail processed at a government-only mail facility in the District of Columbia."

So they must have found something..

Here is the CDC information on Anthrax in case anyone wants it. There is more info there than just this sheet and is a great source of info if you are worried about Anthrax or any other disease.

Thanks Wulfere! The whole thing just makes people edgy and nervous. LadyZ, be careful opening the mail!
