You may have heard about the New York City man who contracted inhalation anthrax and was hospitalized in Pennsylvania for approximately five weeks.
He contracted the disease while messing with animal skins, making drums out of them for his African dance troupe.
Did you know animal skins can be loaded with anthrax? I admit that I did not, but I would think someone at U.S. Customs should have been privy to this tidbit of information.
I would sooner have someone bring in a kilo of smack from out of the country than a truckload of animal skins now that I'm aware of the danger.
Is anyone working on this or are putrid hides penetrating our borders with alarming frequency?
