Oh, that's just lovely. I seem to remember my son is allergic to cipro (not certain that was it-have to have the doctor check the records), so I was planning on being able to use one of those two alternatives if needed. I hadn't ordered anything yet, but was just thinking about it. (My husband was out at the airport tonight--Norfolk, Va.--where he talked to a crew member of a flight that had been quarantined today. When the crew boarded, they found some of the powder. Passengers never got on, but the crew had to go through decontamination. Don't know if it will be one of the hoaxes or if it will turn out to be real. That's why I was thinking about ordering the meds.)

That's why it's best to speak to your doctor (or your child's doctor) about what to take. They know you and can prescribe what is best for your family. Especially if there has been an allergic reaction in the past.

You might want to read beyond the lay press in deciding what to do - the eMedicine Journal has a pretty good run down on anthrax.
