Greetings, Histonet.

Well, the inevitable has happened.  Here we are in historic Trenton, NJ,
where Washington crossed the Delaware in the famous surprise attack on the
Hessian army.  Now we have a new claim to fame:  Anthrax.

My histology dept. has received a skin bx. from a patient w/ suspected
cutaneous anthrax.  Can anyone give me a reference as to the safe processing
of such specimens, and, specifically, one that addresses if formalin kills
b. anthracis?

Much obliged,
