A man in Florida has been infected with anthrax, according to the CDC. http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/2001pres/20011004b.html But don't freak out, they say. Don't buy a gas mask or antibiotics. Don't panic. Get back in your cubicle. Keep working. Stay at your desk. Under no circumstances should you try to find some ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic which might be useful in treating inhalational anthrax. http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/ANSWERS/ANS01030.html
