Irradiated mail, effect on biologicals and prescriptions

["John E. Mansfield" <JMANSFIE@DNFSB.GOV>]

Some fraction of US mail is to be irradiated at the megarad level to destroy anthrax spores.  Has anyone seen a discussion of the effect that might have on prescriptions-by-mail or lab samples in transit?
