anthrax ??

Question

i work in a post office how would i detect it and what harm does it do im begginning to get worried with all these letter bombs lately .

i would tell my supervisor yes as advised but wondered if once touching it it would be too late.. and no i dont open packages lol which is a good point !!

Answer 1

Sadly, I don't think there is anything to notice anthrax, links below, but packages we are just told to look for anything sucpicous. That means, I think, unusual look, or unique to every other package in some way.
I doubt the Police or bomb people would mind if you were just concerned, but, there should be a risk Assesment plan in your work place, or an emergency plan for these eventualities, is there?

Answer 2

What country do you live in?

If you lived in USA you could ask your supervisor, other than that google anthrax. It hasn't been a problem here since the 1950s. I've only read of one 'letter bomb' in recent years. You don't open people's packages, do you?

Answer 3

If it is "Weapons Grade" Anthrax you would be dead before they got you to the hospital...trouble breathing...choking...caughing up blood...then total respiratory shut down....the Anthrax that was sent out after 9/11 was not "Weapons Grade", it was something someone cooked up...if it had been "Weapons Grade" many more people would have died a lot quicker....

Answer 4
