Well after all of that detail given by Mercola, now anyone will know what it takes to make a potent strain of this germ. All they would need are a few experts to help them.Thanks a lot Doc. Also, I think its a big mistake to underestimate Mr. Bin Ladden's capabilities. Josephine Hawaii ----- Original Message -----
>From Dr. Mercola: "I have put three recent articles on this page from the media as they all relate to the same fact. The risk from anthrax is highly overstated. Despite the recent cases of anthrax in the media. To make anthrax into a weapon, as these articles describe, that would kill millions would require technology and sophistication that is far beyond the capability of bin Laden." Article One Making A Weapon From Anthrax The hurdles to making anthrax weapons include getting the right strain, or subspecies, of the germ. Experts say there are scores of strains of Bacillus anthracis, only some known to be exceptionally deadly. Then a would-be biowarrior would have to brew up swarms of lethal microbes - a dangerous process - and coax the fragile rod-shaped bacteria into forming spores, the hardy, hardened, dormant state.
