once the fever, chills and respiratory symptoms set in there is little that can be done

There is an antitoxin that counteracts the anthrax toxin, even after toxin production has started. It is cheap and easy to make. Don't know why we don't hear more about this.

I posted an article about it from abcnews.com a couple of weeks ago, but can't retrieve it now.

Not yours, gumbo, but another FR thread about the anthrax anti-toxin research....
