Biologically safe mailbox

摘要

A method and apparatus is provided to protect the mail carrier and mail recipient from exposure to mail contaminated with biological agents. A bio-safe device is user programmed and loaded with an inexpensive decontaminant to automatically perform a treatment cycle on deposited mail to eliminate anthrax and other infectious agents from within an enclosed mail receptacle. This provides the delivery mail carrier or an individual mail recipient the means to destroy infectious agents before physical contact with the mail.
