Get rid of it, as in to remove it from your hands, yes, kill it no. You've seen it on the news yourself, pictures of hazmat teams being decontaminated by being sprayed down, stepping into another bin, being sprayed down again, several times. They are sprayed down with water. All of the water run off is then treated as biohazardous waste.
Today I attended a teleconference put on by the CDC regarding bioterrorism, of course anthrax was part of the discussion. The best decontamination method for hard surfaces and the one recommended by the CDC is still just a good old 10% bleach solution, alcohol won't kill it, many of the super expensive antimicrobial sprays that labs are fond of purchasing won't kill it, just good old 1 part bleach, 9 parts water Leacy Peace >>>I saw a head medical honcho on TV the other day and he said "Just by rinsing your hands with water for 20 seconds after reading your mail, will get rid of any anthrax spores" I doubt that any bacterial soap could kill it anyhow, but will make people feel safer. He didn't say anything about clothes, shoes and such. Terri ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
