Ive received an e-mail warning about the “Klingerman Virus.” Is this true?
No, it is not true and is a hoax. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has received several inquiries concerning an e-mail message about people who have been infected with “Klingerman virus” after opening gift packages delivered to them in the mail. According to the e-mail message, a number of people became ill with a viral infection after handling a sponge contained in a package marked, “A gift for you from the Klingerman Foundation.” There is no “Klingerman virus,” and the information in the e-mail notice is untrue. If you receive an e-mail message about “Klingerman virus,” please do not forward it to others.
