Thirty-one congressional staffers tested positive for anthrax exposure on October 17, as Republican and Democratic leaders closed much of the US Capitol complex in an extraordinary precautionary measure.
Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle said none of the employees, most of them on his staff, showed any sign of illness.
"The good news is that everyone will be OK," he said at a news conference.
Maj. John Parker from Fort Detrick, Maryland, an Army facility that confirmed the powdery substance was anthrax, said: "It's common-variety from all our testing at this point." He also characterized the sample as "pure spores."

Don't you find it interesting that although these people were exposed to the spores no one became sick?
Anthrax, of course, can be a lethal and devastating disease. But don't be distressed. The ability of anthrax to cause disease is absolutely connected to the health of your immune system.
The single best thing you can do to improve your immune system immediately is to follow the eating plan. Removing sugar and grains from your diet will provide an enormous boost to your immune system that is far superior to nearly every supplement you could use.
