  The article speak of a toxin produced by the anthrax, and not the bacteria herself.
  
  
  
  Chimiotherapia, is using poison to cure cancer. You have to find a poison that destroy the cancerous cell, but that do not destroy too much the others cells. In short research in chimiotherapia is finding selective poisons.
  
  
  
  I know it sounds weird, to cure cancer with a mass weapon destruction, but it's logical afterall.

  If a high percentage of postal workers suffer from cancer, those anthrax mailers have a new defense.
