OT: Ann Arbor hospital hazmat situation

Silent but deadly.

I wonder what happens if you try and light one. 

of freaking embarrassment.

This has to be reported by the Lansing State Journal, not the Ann Arbor (cyber)paper?  I can just imagine all the tasteless jokes pouring in from the Lansing readers.

Certain rodent poisons can literally create mustard gas when ingested by humans. 

This is actually pretty frightening to me personally because my wife happened to be at a Dr appointment at the Reichert building when this happened, and she said she heard people talking about a haz-mat situation but didn't know what happened.

Just another example of the media spinning something unnecessarily (none of us are familiar with that here). 

My mother works at SJMH and has for 40 years.  I spoke to her at length when she got home from work.  This completely overblown response by AAN and county Hazmat (especially given they have negative air-pressure rooms that would prevent any chemical leaks).

I guess it's better safe than sorry but this was never out of control and certainly didn't require the apparent 30 people their for 6 hours.

FWIW.

She thought it was serrious enough to call me to tell me about it.

late last night, and found it funny. What have we turned into when a guy eats rat poison doesn't die, farts and people panic ?
