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). - Ralph Ralph Stuart, CIH Environmental Safety Manager University of Vermont Environmental Safety Facility 667 Spear St. Burlington, VT 05405 rstuart**At_Symbol_Here**uvm.edu fax: (802)656-5407
