"That is my point they had him on penicillin, note that they did not state what other antibiotics/treatments were used. Or did they ever? Something smells fishy."

Many of you misunderstood this entirely. The idea of the bug they cultured from this man being sensitive to penicillin is supposed to indicate that it was not genetically manipulated, and therefore less likely to be bioterrorism. One thinks that if you were to release a bioterroristic bug, you would first make it resistant to common antibiotics. Since this bug was not resistant, they are using that to help support the idea that it was not from a terrorist source.

And I thought I understood all of the Q & A's on anthrax.

I was under the impression that after exposure it is not too late.

They better get serious about stopping the mad men that wish to do this and quickly.

Good input, thanks. I hadn't considered that.
