Because of this and increased public awareness of terrorist threats; morecases of disese aree being investigated. "I don't recommend that indi viduals stockpile antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin (for anthrax) or that you take antibiotics if you have not been exposed to the dis ease," says Toomey. "This can cause disease-resistant strains of other bacteria to develop in your body, can cause side effects, and can harm our ability to direct resoumes to an actual outbreak." The United States has enough antibiotics to prevent the disease in two million persons exposed to anthrax, so preventive medi cine can be transmitted rapidly to anyone who may be affected by the disease. Vaccination is not recommended, and the vaccine is not available to the general pub lic. Anthrax is not contagious. Individuals who are concerned that they may have been exposed to an unusual disease should con tact their physician and their pub lic health district office or county health department. A Georgia Division of Public Health Event Information Line operated by the Georgia Poison Control Center provides pre-recorded informa tion about handling anthrax threats and provides general in formation about anthrax and bioterrorism: 1-866-752-3442 (toll-free. 24 hours/day. 7 days/ week).
