ANTHRAX

Control

Isolation:
When handling infected humans or animals wear:
Kitchen Gloves, Poncho, Mask, and Eye Protection
Decontamination:

Wash or Spray all contaminated objects with:
0.5% Bleach.

Food CANNOT be decontaminated!

To decontaminate drinking water using:
USP Iodine Crystals --Saturated Solution
Add 8 grams of Iodine crystals to a 2 ounce clear glass bottle with a bake-lite cap.

NO Plastic!

Fill with water and shake vigorously for several
minutes, then let settle.

Without disturbing the sediment,
withdraw 6 teaspoons (30cc) of the saturated
solution and add to a quart of tepid water.

Let stand for at least 60 min.

To make more of the saturated
solution "batch", just add water to the sediment in the two-ounce bottle and shake.

Remember: When there is no more sediment
—start another "batch".

Contamination Prevention:
Eat only sealed foods.
Drink only sealed water.
Avoid air conditioning.
Avoid crowds.
Wear a face mask.
Wear kitchen gloves.
Wear a poncho.
Wear boots.
Think

Disposal:
Human or Animal

Do NOT burn carcasses—bury them with quick lime.
The fire will burst the lungs of the carcass and spread the spores.

Sanitation:
[b]Anthrax spores will survive for years.[/b] However,
re-aerosolization by movement of vehicles or humans is very unlikely.

Rigid "cleanliness" must be enforced!
