Microsoft Employees Don't Have Anthrax

WinInfo | at | by Mike

All six of the Microsoft employees who had contact with the allegedly anthrax-contaminated letter reported in yesterday's WinInfo Daily UPDATE have tested negative for the inhaled form of anthrax, and none have become ill. The workers will be monitored for the less deadly cutaneous form of anthrax--which doctors can treat with standard antibiotics, but health officials describe the health risk from this form of anthrax to be "very, very low." This risk is consistent with most of the anthrax scares that are turning up around the country these days.
