Shortly after the 9-11 attacks in the United States, there were a number of deaths linked to the lethal bacteria anthrax. Fearing a large-scale bio-terrorist attack, many Americans sought out the antibiotic Cipro as a treatment for inhalation of anthrax.Among the Cipro-seekers was Scott Ian, lead singer of thrash-metal band Anthrax who said he ordered the drug "because I will not die an ironic death."
