You're right. Of course you have to take the prescribed dose if you actually test positive for the disease. Earlier in the discussion we were referring to those who are tested by show no signs of anthrax but yet are prescribed Cipro simply because they were at a sight where traces may have shown up. They've been telling us all along not to take it unnecessarily because you will build up a tolerance to it.
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.
