The Nando Times: Researchers announce experimental anthrax antidote

This is a "protein that offers an anthrax toxin a more attractive docking site than its usual target of healthy blood cells". Sounds like a good deal for someone in a bad way, but you'd still prefer antibiotics early on to getting injected with strange proteins.

I'm no expert, but if this works, I'd think it could eventually lead to a weapon against all sorts of toxins, natural and artificial.
