Third Anthrax Victim Is Back at Work
One of the three supermarket tabloid employees who were exposed to anthrax returned to work in Boca Raton as investigators waited for test results that might help them find the source of the bacteria that killed one of her co-workers.
“I just want to say I’m fine,” a smiling Stephanie Dailey told a crowd of reporters from her front yard in nearby Boynton Beach. “I’m taking medicine like everybody else.”
Dailey, 36, said health officials used a swab to test her nasal passages Monday and she was told Wednesday afternoon that it had come back positive for anthrax.
Federal authorities have begun a criminal investigation but say there is no evidence of terrorism.
