Correct me if I am wrong but wasn´t a little tidbit in the manual about spreading toxins via workplace ducts and the like?
Well, loaded up the fam and took a little daytrip down to old Mexico..spent the tuition money on antibiotics. Don´t know if they would actually be worth a d*amn but it´s always fun to go down there and buy meds. Tried for some percodan..no such luck. LOL
He is/was sick or had some symptoms which alerted them. They would not hesitate to put him on Cipro as a safety measure. They gave him Cipro and now they are periodically testing his blood for antibodies to anthrax. So far he has not shown an immune response to anthrax. Everyone differs in their immune response. Sometimes it takes 2-3 weeks for a person to develop measurable antibodies to a bug.
Once they put him on Cipro this is the only way they have to try to determine if he was exposed. It will be interesting to see if they ever announce anything more about it.
This is my take from a medical background, btw.
