Can someone get anthrax from contaminated mail, equipment or clothing?
In the mail handling processing sites, B. anthracis spores may be aerosolized during the operation and maintenance of high-speed, mail sorting machines potentially exposing workers. In addition, these spores could get into heating, ventilating, or air conditioning (HVAC) systems. CDC interim guidelines have been issued to advise workers on how best to protect themselves in the workplace.
