Almost 10,000 emergency responders mistakenly exposed to deadly ricin during training over the last 5 years

Because of yet another mix-up with bioterror pathogens, a federal terrorism response training center in Alabama says it mistakenly exposed more than 9,600 firefighters, paramedics and other students to a deadly toxin over the past five years, USA TODAY has learned. The Federal Emergency Management Agency's Center for Domestic Preparedness blames an outside laboratory for a series of shipping errors since 2011 that resulted in the first-responder training center using in its classes a potentially lethal form of ricin powder, a poison made from castor beans that is capable of killing at small doses.

Germ warfare and toxic handling isn't being handled well in this country and its very worrisome that something like this can go on for so long unchecked.
