Twenty-two people “may have been exposed” to an anthrax sample sent to a U.S. Air Force base in South Korea and are being treated, a senior defense official told Fox News — in the latest “precautionary measure” being taken after the Defense Department’s “inadvertent” shipment of live anthrax samples.
Those samples were sent to as many as nine states, as well as Osan Air Base in South Korea, over the course of a year.
The 22 people now being treated in South Korea are in addition to the four people being treated for “post-exposure” in the U.S. after receiving anthrax spores.
“There are no suspected cases of anthrax infection,” said Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren.
