As health admin for the USPS in Reno, my husband was once consulted about suspicious liquids leaking from packages that were causing postal employees to grow faint and develop severe headaches. He instructed them to evacuate and call the fire department.
It turned out it was a leaky case of Snapple someone decided to mail. It took a little while for the employees to live *that* one down, esp. after the papers picked it up.

Could even have been bacillus bulgaricus. Except that, if it's Dannon, it's dead, killed by pasteurization.

Could have been worse. They could have just shot him and only then discovered.
