Take antibiotic for entire prescribed time!

Speaking of antibiotics, is there any way to tell if any of the characters associated with this NJ apartment have taken antibiotics recently? Is there a blood or urine test which would let authorities know if the men have done this? Maybe anthrax won't be found in the apartment, but if they've ALL been taking something like Cipro, I'd look at them a little more closely.

ps. Don't forget to pack your anthrax.

So why DON'T we just go sprinkle a shitload of anthrax on those caves?

Tuesday, a day later, FBI agents removed about 10 garbage bags of unknown materials from the apartment, a Greenwood official said.

Maybe it's the Halloween candy from the Hackensack and Wayne, NJ Costco stores? Hmmmmmmmmm........ I surely hope the cops/Fibbies are treating this evidence like biohazmat.

See my post above. GMTA.

Brown said it was not unusual for many men to enter and leave the apartment.

Oh, I thought this was the multiple sperm Condit thread for a moment. :)

Thank you to the person who flagged me, sorry if I forgot to flag someone.

Thank you to the person who flagged me, sorry if I forgot to flag someone.

Ditto. I missed this.

[William Wallace]

Excellent find PD! If I was a gambler, I'd wager they just apprehended some of the filthy @^$#*&$ responsible for the anthrax attacks.

I'm sure the mainstream media will stumble all over themselves in the race to apologize to conservatives for the false accusations. < /sarcasm >

Thanks for your post #103.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks for the flag, PD!

The rail lines run parallel to Rt 1 on the EASTERN side of it. Some communities like Princeton have rail spurs that feed to the main line. I cannot recall any rail overpass or underpass in the Frankiln/Kendall Park area that would indicate a spur. You may be able to see one if you enlarge the map.

Different subject. I don't know if you heard Sean Hannity's radio show today but he was talking about having received a letter in handwriting identical to the Brokaw and other anthrax letters PRE 9/11. Other media outlets did as well and the postmarks were Indianapolis. I think he said his was saved and turned over to the FBI.

[Marysecretary]

Hmm, late August? Maybe he knew about September 11th and decided to boogie outta there?

Blood test would tell level of antibiotic and what kind thereof. Easy to do as you could test reaction of specific bacteria placed in blood sample, etc.

AHA! There is the Condidit connection at last! You 'member the FReeper theory that Chandra was imprisononed inside a Middle East harem unable to speak the language? Do we need more proof after this? It would make perfect sense that these anti-semitic racist right-wing extremists opposed to a woman's right to choose coulda done something like this or other.

I thought you might want to see this thread. I (think?) it was you yesterday trying to find some relation to the sick woman (now dead) and others in the same area.

[MindBender26]

Of course you have to take the prescribed dose if you actually test positive for the disease.

Again, bad info. If you begin a course of antibiotics, for any reason, you must complete the prescribed dose/time period for taking, etc. This is especially true in propholactic usage.

Think of the rationale behind taking propholacitc dose; to prevent growth and maturing of disease from beyond a sub-clinical level. The resaon to take a propholactic dose of antibiotic is to kill the bacteria while they are in your body but in too small amounts and/or at too low a level of infection to be see clinically, (that is by symptoms.)

99% of people taking propholactic dose have no need to do so. The problem is, we don't know who the safe 99% are, and therefore we don't know who the infected 1% is. If you were the one percent with anthrax and took propholactic antibiotics while disease was sub-clinical, i.e. it was running around your blood sreeam but no physical symptoms were seen yet, the antibiotic would begin to kill those germs. The weak, easilly killed germs would be first to be killed by the antibiotic. But if you stopped before talking full dose, then the remaining, stronger, harder to kill germs would remain. Soon they would begin to multiply again in the absence of the antibiotic. Soon you would have a germ that was very resistant to antibiotic running around through your body! Not good! (Probably fatal with anthrax.)

If you start a course of antibiotics, complete them with no regard to symptoms or lack thereof, or why you started to take them in the first place. It doesn't matter how good you feel, once you begin, take all the prescription! To do otherwise can kill you.

PS. Every new nfection is just that, a new infection. The old rumor that overtaking antibiotics will "weaken" your response to the next infection is completely false. The danger is a partial dose, as described above.

[Stand Watch Listen]

Thanks for the heads-up...appreciate it. Hope it starts to connect-the-dots for 9-11.

[rolling_stone]

From personal experience I agree with your assesment of completing the prescription. As a poor college student I was ill with "strep throat" I took some (handy)ampicillin and felt great for a few days! Unfortunately there was not enough ampicillin to completely kill the infection. I finally went to the local Hospital emergency room after I started getting worse..they found nothing and sent me home.(symptons probably covered up by medication) Next night, I rapidly deteriorated and ended up with a high fever - 105 and had to be carried into the emergency room with strep throat and mononucleosis. After 1.5 million units of penicillin in the backside and some rest, I recovered but learned an important lesson....

Thanks for the info. Am wondering if there's a water tower or other town sign for Franklin Park, visible from the train, that might have given someone an idea...

Re Hannity, I missed most of his show, but there's an article about it from the NYPost posted here.

Weirdly, the writer of one of those letters to O'Reilly put Hannity's name in the return address.
