Subject: Responses to LPS toxicity

Thanks to everyone who responded to my inquiry about LPS toxicity.  
Based on the responses, it is much clearer to me that it should be  
handled as a toxic chemical, particularly due to its ability to  
activate an inflammatory response in mammals, including fever  
(pyrogenesis).
