Another Sigh of Relief: A case of inhalation anthrax in New York City, appears to be due to animal skins and drums rather than terror:

A New York City man who works with African drums was stricken with a case of inhalation anthrax that appears to have been caused by contact with untreated animal skins from the Ivory Coast and not a criminal or terrorist incident, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

The 44-year-old man, who wasn't otherwise identified, was in fair condition in a hospital in Sayre, Pennsylvania, about 200 miles northwest of the city, Bloomberg said.
