Meet Dr. Bob. Check out the latest answers from Dr. Bob (updated 10/6): Every once in a while, I read something about anthrax being used as a biological weapon. What is it, what does it do, and how dangerous is it? My husband, a recovering alcoholic, has taken to consuming 12 sodas a day, an over-the-counter bronchodilator in the morning, and a sleep-inducing aspirin at night. Can overuse of these products have an adverse effect? While playing basketball, I was injured and diagnosed with "turf toe." What causes this condition?
