> One of the MD's would like to switch to monkey

> about the risk of Herpesvirus simiae, which is fatal
> in humans.  Although rare, I think it is introducing
> additional risk into the laboratory that is not
> necessary. Other tissues that are cut are fixed in
> Michel's media or are fresh tonsils.  The MD argues no
> additional risk is introduced because of the already
> existing risk of HIV, pemphigus, Hepatitis, etc.  Does
> anyone have any thoughts or statistics on exposure
