    now that a fourth person has tested positive for Anthrax exposure, are you now worried? (an NBC employee has tested positive.)

    How long does it take from exposure to symptoms?

    the person was taking antibiotic for several days as she thought she was just sick initially...so I guess several days is not out of the question. :(

    The incubation period is usually about a week, but it can be as long as 45 or even 60 days before symptoms start to show up.

    Anyone still think that this episode (the spate of anthrax cases in Florida and now apparently NY), the 9/11 attacks, and yesterday's warning is just one big coincidence?

    Seems like the targets are the media which is ironic since they have been hammering stories about bioterrorism.

    The woman who got it is being treated and is responding well. It could be terrorist, they did pull that threat. I'm starting to get the feeling that it isn't terrorist though, but some sick freaks trying to scare people and prove a point. The sick renegades in the world. But it does coincide with the WTC and Pentagon incident so it easily could be terrorist. All I know is that Al-Qaeda and bin Laden are going to be pushing up daisies soon, because the more they tick off the U.S., the more likely ground troops are going in and taking out them and the Taliban.

    Well scratch that, it's a different type of anthrax. If it was your run-of-the-mill nut they would likely be using the same type of anthrax. I guess Saddam wanted to join his good friend Osama bin Laden on his trip to hell.
