Searching for the source of the material, she discovers an envelope filled with more powder and a threatening note. The note claims that the material is anthrax.
First Responders arrive and quarantine the area.
As the victim is disrobed and showered, one responder samples the material, placing it in a small vial along with a buffer solution. He then opens a small foil pouch containing an Anthrax BTA Test Strip. The responder is performing an anthrax screen in the field, so he ll have a very good idea in about 15 minutes. As a precaution, the potential victim is taken to the hospital, but she leaves the scene after being told that local authorities are now almost certain that the threatening substance was NOT anthrax. The solution is provided by Alexeter Technologies, of Wheeling, Illinois.
