9200 uncatalogued pathogens found at US lab

[clear]

Very unnerving report.


With three days left in spring cleaning season, a US army lab that works on the world's deadliest pathogens has turned up uncatalogued vials of Ebola, anthrax, plague and other pathogens – 9220 of them to be precise.

Yeah, but it's #9201 that'll kill ya.

Bad practice, but it's not as if the 9/11 anthrax attacks were caused by that...

OH SNAP!

The US army should really stop creating biological weapons with such poor handling conditions! I work at a commercial lab and get flamed for not labelling the paperwork with stickers, let alone the samples.
