9499: Anthrax in Haiti




From: ForHaiti@aol.com
----------------------------------------

An entire family on our support program died of pulmonary anthrax. They
lived 
"down wind" from a tannery when they were tanning infected hides.

I can't remember a time where you were not advised to avoid skins and
hides 
with hair for items being bought to bring home, and we have been working
down 
there for 30 years.

It is a poor country, you just accept certain restrictions for your own 
safety.
