Who knew anthrax was an occupations hazard for those who participate in African "drum circles." In New Hampshire, no less.

Most of the drums at the session were made with animal hides,

What would the Peta loving vegans say.

I'm calling for legislation to ban drum circles!

The day is coming real soon, that something much worse than 911 happens.

Hopefully next time they’ll use a different set of drums.

Yeah, we’ve got old hippies here, too. I blame ineffective border enforcement at the Vermont and Massachusetts crossings.

This whole scene is so unfathomable to me that I wonder if I’m from another planet. Who are these people and how do they get enough time and money to engage in whatever this is? My first impulse is to laugh, but I have a hunch that I unwittingly helped fund this farce.

Almost all cases of off-the-farm anthrax in the USA came from uncured goatskin from Africa, frequently drums.

On farms or in wool handling, cutaneous anthrax is what you get.

There was a case of inhalation-type anthrax from an African drum several years ago.

The solution clearly is to ban hippies.

As a drummer, and having attended many Grateful Dead shows in the 80’s, I ALWAYS avoided these drum circles. This just gives me one more reason to never join in on one.

This is not the first report of someone getting anthrax from African-style drums. Here are a few other cases:

UK drum maker dies after inhaling anthrax spores

Conn. Man Contracts Anthrax From African Drum

Man dies from 'rare anthrax bug'
