NEWS: "Accidental" Anthrax Confirmed

CULTURE: "Accidental" Anthrax Confirmed

I don't know too many people who intentionally get anthrax, but this guy can't blame his case on the terrorists, only his lack of cleaning solutions...

A 44-year-old musician from New York City collapsed after a performance in Mansfield, Pennsylvania last Thursday, and the Centers for Disease Control has confirmed it is a case of inhalational anthrax.

Recent travels to Africa where the man obtained animal skins to build drums, which he handled unprocessed (read: without chemical solvents to prevent bacteria growth), is likely what caused his outbreak.

"At this time, there is no indication that the exposure was from an intentional release of anthrax," according to a release from the state health department. "The patient has a history of contact with unprocessed animal hides and recently traveled to Africa, where he purchased unprocessed hides."

It adds, "Unprocessed animal hides can be a source of anthrax spores."

Anthrax bacteria lie dormant in tough cells called spores until conditions are favorable for them to infect animals or humans.

New York City and federal authorities discussed the case at a news conference Wednesday afternoon, where they assured the public that the incident does not pose a health threat.

This dude's studio is down the hall from mine in a building off of Tillary. I called all morning to find out what was going on but got no answer, so I went down there to see for myself. The place was crawling with cops and medvac trucks and the like. One of the cops told me the building was closed for 2 days and told me to move along.

If you can't play bongos without cleaning them, the terrorists have already won.
