Title: 2/01/62
Post by: vesta111 on December 23, 2011, 01:17:46 PM
Watching this old Alfred Hitchock movie from that time.

Brings to mind a death caused by anthrax a few years ago that happend to a world renowned drum maker in NYC that imported skins from Kenya.    They were infected, he died.

50 years after the movie and still a person died from Anthrax, strange is it not that we still have this disease today??
 Just a thought.

What would you suggest? Vaccinating all the animals that carry and transmit the disease?

Nope, impossible to do so.   

I advocate more screening of product before allowed off the docks into our country.

We have enough troubles of our own with Anthrax and Bubonic Plague [both cureable with Antiobiotics] without importing a different strain into the country.

The reason this program caught my attention was the plot line had Anthrax imported on a small drum from S.America.

50 years later hides imported to a New York master drum maker.   Sort of fiction followed by fact.

BTW, here in our area we just weeks ago were surprised to find a good number of seals wash up dead on our beaches.   Just a small paragraph in the paper that the cause of death was an unknown virus.
