I agree that inhaled anthrax is a serious concern, and is very lethal. Check out BW History and note in particular on the The Sverdlovsk Incident: April 2, 1979 "...The discovery was also made that the incubation period for inhalation anthrax was two to forty-five days. This finding was in vast contrast to the animal studies that indicated that the incubation period was between two to six days. These findings imply that antibiotics might be administered." Mortality in that incident was 80%, and could have been lower if treated properly. Another useful link is Homeland Security with tons of great information on all forms of threats to the US. If you want something else to worry about, check out the info here on TOPOFF, where a civil defense preparedness simulation in May 2000 failed to contain an attack using plague in Denver. It is good to worry about, and I hope we get our civil defense preparedness in better order. Russ
