Omaha Nebraska is home to our nation’s premier infectious biocontainment treatment unit. It’s the one the other units all send their staff to for training. I have zero worry about them handling this properly.

We also tracked the engineered vs. natural microbe population. Our B. sub cells were eventually out-competed by the natural microbes with a half-life of about 5-8 days, showing that natural competition is its own form of biocontainment.
