Agency Looks Into Claim Doctor Had Skin Anthrax: ‘Should the case of the cardiologist, Dr. Gerald M.

Weisfogel, turn out to have been anthrax, it

would be of considerable interest to investigators.

It precedes the first batch of anthrax letters that

was sent out on or around Sept. 18 and would

indicate a new and earlier source of exposure.’

In other anthrax news, ‘Postal

investigators said today for the

first time that other mail containing anthrax

bacteria was probably sent here last

month in addition to the one letter that has

been found, the one sent to the office of

Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota.

“We’re thinking there may be one more

letter and maybe more than one,” said

Kenneth Newman, the deputy chief postal

inspector for investigations.’ NY Times [“FMHreader”, “FMHreader”]
