Trace amounts of squalene have been detected in some lots of anthrax vaccine.
    These levels are 25 times less than the amount present naturally in the human bloodstream.
Squalene is an oil found naturally in the human bloodstream that is essential for life.
    Without squalene in our bodies, we would die.
    The human body uses squalene to make natural hormones and to build cells.
The squalene present in anthrax vaccine probably comes from the bacteria used to make the vaccine.

FDA considers squalene in anthrax vaccine "naturally occurring and safe."
