U.S. labs mishandling deadly germs
2007/10/02/0911 by fumfRTFA: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071002/ap_on_he_me/mi…
American laboratories handling the world’s deadliest germs and toxins have experienced more than 100 accidents and missing shipments since 2003, and the number is increasing steadily as more labs across the country are approved to do the work.
No one died, and regulators said the public was never at risk during these incidents. But the documented cases reflect poorly on procedures and oversight at high-security labs, some of which work with organisms and poisons so dangerous that illnesses they cause have no cure.
Hopefully we don’t get an anus & eye outbreak in America.
