Recently, a number of individuals and organizations have received envelopes or packages with letters indicating that anthrax was either on the letter or in the envelope. Some of these envelopes may have suspicious contents. CDC previously has issued guidance to help address these events in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report: Bioterrorism Alleging Use of Anthrax and Interim Guidelines for Management -- United States, 1998. MMWR 1999:48 (no.4) (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/PDF/wk/mm4804.pdf).
