Several incidents at the site:
“One of the most alarming incidents occurred when a researcher was transferring a bat from its cage to a biosafety cabinet. Despite double gloves and a leather glove, the bat reportedly caught the glove with its mouth, leaving a visible red spot on the researcher’s finger consistent with a bite.
The bat involved had reportedly been vaccinated against MERS-CoV and later challenged with a human isolate of the virus, according to the incident report.
Another report describes a researcher performing a tail vein injection on a mouse infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (HN878 strain). The animal moved, the vein was missed, pressure built up in the syringe, and the contents sprayed out of the biosafety cabinet and onto the researcher’s face.”
I assume that they incinerated the clumsy and contaminated and unfortunate researchers, right?
