Another anthrax scare and this time it all unfolds in our state of Connecticut. Inhalation anthrax took the life of a 94 year old woman of Oxford. Can you imagine? She lived through it all and anthrax had to take her life. It seems so sad to think about it. What makes it more horrible is the fact that no one knows exactly how this elderly lady contracted the disease. She hardly left her house said neighbors in the news. She only went to the post office and to get her hair done. Her house was tested, her mail was tested, and the post office she used was tested and still nothing. Gosh this sounds really scary because you just don't know how she got it. Hopefully, more investigations will be done to determine the factors, but it is up to the country to figure this out. It is a complete mystery that shocks everyone involved not only her family. It is a pretty sad thing to see her have such a healthy life until this point. It makes you wonder what is exactly going on with this disease. How did she get it and why?
