Some workers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention may have been accidentally exposed to dangerous anthrax bacteria earlier this month because of a safety problem at some of its labs in Atlanta, the federal agency said Thursday.

While trying to find ways to detect the deadly disease, the research people at Atlanta did a bit "oopsie!" today.

They're jumping the shark, but who knows how dangerous the situation might really be, or whether or how far the infection might spread:

CDC officials say the risk of infection seems very low, but that about 75 staff members were being monitored or given antibiotics as a precaution.
"Based on the investigation to date, CDC believes that other CDC staff, family members, and the general public are not at risk of exposure and do not need to take any protective action," a statement from the agency says.

Yeah, right.
NIMBY!
