  a unnamed heroin user died wednesday,during routine blood results etc anthrax was found in his blood samples.futher more a female has had the same result.ongoing tests on a third person is ongoing.
  it seems rather worrying that this dreadfull whatever you like to call it,could go natinwide.it allso brings to question is this an isolated thing ie heroin users only or is it another out break.

  As long as it stays among the heroin addicts it should be okay.
  Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

  colin,i think that you might find in most cases that anthrax spores are usealy airbourne but in this case it might be mixed in with the heroin.

  You`re right Brian, but just a jibe at them really. With my weeks in Kings hospital this year, I had my first experience of drug addicts. An eye opener. What a waste of space. (And beds).
