Scientists Show Scares Without Reason In Tubercle Research
Chicago Evening Post reports on efforts to detect tubercle bacilli in a telephone mouthpiece and in guinea pigs inoculated with sediment from dirty paper money. Warren Hildreth of Yale notes bacteria on bills ranging from 14,000 to 686,000 with an average of 142,002, yet guinea pigs showed little reaction. He suggests money handling as a disease factor, urging finger hygiene and frequent redemption of worn bills to reduce transmission risk.
