[quote=USA TODAY]The Pentagon has learned that additional samples of live anthrax were sent to three laboratories in Canada, two Defense officials confirmed Monday evening.
That means that specimens of the deadly Bacillus anthracis have been sent to labs in 12 states, the District of Columbia and three countries. The samples came from the U.S. Army lab at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. Scientists there thought they had been shipping inactive strains of the deadly spores for research purposes.[/quote]

As far as I know, anthrax does not spread from person to person.
Don't be scared, you can hang around the infected all you like!
Get your skidoo's by's.
Hopefully not in Winnipeg as we have a disease research facility here too. Kind of stupid how it says in the article 'Canada (3 locations)' and not what provinces where it has states for the us

The whole country is covered in it so you best not come. We thought it was a late snowfall until people started dying by the hordes.
Canada promptly apologized for the mix-up.
to this day some still say the modified anthrax that wiped out the moose was a little harsh

Anthrax is the name of the disease caused when the bacillus anthracis spore gets into your body (which can happen through the air, contact with wounds, or through infected animal product). It affects animals and humans, though more often animals since the spore actually isn't all that rare in the wild. So "anthrax" really isn't what's being talked about in the news, but I guess "anthrax" is catchier than "bacillus anthracis".
It's a really nasty bacteria. If it gets into your skin (through a wound like a cut), it causes a horrible necrotic lesion (Google pictures of this at your own risk) but is treatable. If you actually manage to inhale it and it gets into your system, it's extremely deadly. This stuff is a big deal.
Can't wait for conspiracy theorists to say that US government did it on purpose

Battle-beaver squad here
No one really gets why these were sent to these places, what if someone is actually wanting to supply a terrorist with the virus by sending it all over the place and confusing people just to distract attention?
