Jacksonville airline worker accidentally injected with chemical warfare antidote
The Associated Press
An airline worker inspecting a passenger's bag Jacksonville International Airport on Friday was accidentally injected with an antidote to chemical weapons.
The Delta Air Lines employee, who was not identified, was injected with atropine, an antibiotic that helps people survive chemical attacks, said Jacksonville Fire and Rescue spokesman Tom Francis.
The atropine was inside a bag owned by a member of the military, who was asking whether he was allowed to take the drug on the plane. The worker was inspecting the bag and explaining that the drug couldn't be taken onboard when the accident happened.
Rescue workers were called to the ticket counter, but the call was canceled when they learned the injection was atropine, Francis told The Florida Times-Union.
Delta spokeswoman Katie Connell declined to give further details. Transportation Security Administration spokesman Brian Turmail referred questions to the airline.
