2 Mice Carrying Plague Disappear From New Jersey Lab, FBI Says No Public Health Risk

from Fox News

TRENTON, N.J. — The frozen remains of two mice injected with the organism that causes plague have not been accounted for seven weeks after being discovered missing at a University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey facility in Newark, the university said Friday.

The FBI investigated and determined there was no risk to public health or any indication of the terrorist link.

It wasn't the first time plague-infected mice have disappeared from the New Jersey facility. Four years ago, in September 2005, three live mice infected with bubonic plague bacteria disappeared from various cages. Officials later said they believed the rodents had died.

Well of course they said that. What else are they going to say?

By the way, plague infested super rats are roaming through New Jersey, headed for any and all peanut paste plants, and will probably be leaving plague infested poop behind that will later cause almost everyone in the U.S. to get some sort of horrible disease, but don't worry, we'll blame it on the fact that there's only one FDA inspector in New Jersey, and he was appointed by Bush, so really, if there's a mass death because our plague infested rats got loose, just remember, it's all George Bush's fault."

It's New Jersey. It's not like they're going to miss a few rats.
