Ms. Nguyen worked in the "supply room" and they received small parcels there. Any small parcel that was placed in a flat tray or letter tray previously contaminated by an anthrax laden letter could very well pass along some of the anthrax powder to the person taking the parcels out of the tray - or putting a parcel into the tray - this makes the polypropylene corrugated channels "outgas".

I am sorry if this is too complex for the FBI, but they are the ones who keep saying that if there is no letter involved her infection cannot be explained.

You will notice I just treated her infection as a trivial problem - readily solved by anyone who knows anything about letter and flat trays and how the post office really works. Frankly I am positively amazed that not a single solitary FBI agent ever worked his way through college as a PTF - NOT ONE!

Ms. Nguyen worked in the "supply room" and they received small parcels there.

And there are medical supply firms/pharmaceutical companies in NJ that might have mailed a package to her hospital that got cross-contaminated.

NJ Top 5 companies by market capitalization, all are medical/health related

1. Johnson & Johnson  Medical, Surgical & Dental Suppliers
2. Merck & Co, Inc  Ethical Drug Manufacturers
3. American Home Products Corporation  Ethical Drug Manufacturers
4. Schering-Plough Corporation  Ethical Drug Manufacturers
5. Pharmacia Corporation  Ethical Drug Manufacturers

And these

Alpharma Inc.: Pharmaceuticals, Becton Dickinson & Co. (I think they make medical supplies), Block Drug Co. Inc., Dialogic Corporation, Medical Manager Corp. Manufacturing, Medquist Inc. Health, Schein Pharmaceutical Pharmaceuticals, Telcordia Technologies, Inc., Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc., Warner-Lambert -
At least, I think most of these are medically related.

BTW, what is a PTF?
