However, this practice does potentially expose hunters to the pathogens carried on these animals.

The rapidly growing number of U.S. biosafety labs—those that study potentially lethal pathogens—is causing concern.

Ebright said more than 12,000 individuals are authorized to work with these lethal pathogens.

Bacterial pathogens include gonorrhea (yes) which can cause blindness in a matter of hours, and chlamydia.

Yet the exponential decline in the cost means that the threat posed by the fabrication of lethal bio-pathogens is rising.
