EUROPE-WIDE ALARM FOR HEROIN CUT WITH ANTHRAX

According to a report broadcast by "Cadena Ser," a private Spanish radio station, laboratory analysts of Europol issued a warning to all drug squads in Europe, alerting the police to the arrival of heroin cut with anthrax, originating from Afghanistan. Traces of anthrax were found in the body of a Norwegian drug addict, who died of an overdose.

...how would heroin laced with anthrax show up in the blood in someone in Norway?

Tests...

Well, someone in Afghanistan could have laced the heroin, knowing it was going to a non-Islamic country. Those guys might have been killing people around the world for years. I think a lot of anthrax cases have been diagnosed over the years merely as “pneumonia”. In small towns, most doctors and hospitals don’t do full tests to see what caused the fatal pneumonia.

We had a disease out in the Southwest for many years that wasn’t even identified. Only when four or five Navajos suddenly died from it did the feds and the CDC get involved. They call it “hantavirus” now. For years before, it was just called “pneumonia”, when cases happened one at a time.

Pneumonia is the body’s physical reaction to many different kinds of lung infections. It’s not a disease itself.

Which backs up my original point that maybe the anthrax wasn't made in the US like the media is trying to assert right?

What's wrong Fred? I was sure you'd support murdering drug users with Anthrax. Instead we get a tepid little "I don't like them either"?

Come on Fred, which is it? Do you support it or not?

"Not necessarily..."

And the antrax came from the US and heroin came from the US?

And the connection to Norway if that was the case is?

My point is that anthrax found in Europe could have come from a different source than the recent anthrax found in the U.S.

The media has been reporting conflicting stories about the origin of the NY/DC anthrax, and so their reports can’t be trusted. The FBI and CDC probably have a good idea where it came from, but the media hasn’t been consistent reporting about it.

Also, the Ames strain could be modified, some of it could go to Iraq, and be modified again, and some of the modified stuff could come back to the USA and be modified again. Some US professors could modify it right here in their own labs, after getting it from someplace else. I don’t think all anthrax can be pinned down to any one lab or country.

A similiar thing happened on Martha's Vineyard two years ago with the outbreak of tuleremia a bacterial infection which can be inhaled like anthrax. It's called bunny fever fever since rabbits are the host and pass it through their system.

Landscapers or homeowners run their mowers over the droppings and voila airborne agent. Lots of scarey stuff out there boys and girls _ even in BeautifulPeopleLand.

And that was the same point I was making.

Yes, people should always use a face mask when mowing their lawn. Some of that “dust” they kick up might have animal-debris and microscopic spores in it. That happened to me one year, and I finally figured out what had happened that gave me such a bad case of flu. “Dirt” contains a lot of bad stuff, if it gets in our lungs in powdered form. Our skin can handle the bad stuff better than our lungs can.

Heads up to those in the Medical, Law Enforcement fields for laced dope, and overdose cases, etc.....

Why would law enforcement care? This only makes their job easier. Alert the medical examiner!
