I am sure that Paul was acting in his friends best interest in his
recent warning about the "Klingerman Virus"

THIS WARNING IS A HOAX!!!!

It is easy enough to verify:

The Center for Disease Control (CDC) 
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/klingerman_hoax.htm
says:

"False E-mail Reports
False E-mail Report about "Klingerman Virus"

Find additional information on other e-mail reports on the Current
Health-Related Hoaxes and Rumors CDC page.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently
received several inquiries concerning an e-mail message about people who
have been infected with "Klingerman virus" after opening gift packages
delivered to them in the mail. According to the e-mail message, a number
of people became ill with a viral infection after handling a sponge
contained in a package marked, "A gift for you from the Klingerman
Foundation." 

The e-mail is a hoax. There is no "Klingerman virus," and the
information in the e-mail notice is untrue. If you receive an e-mail
message about "Klingerman virus," please do not forward it to others.

Although the e-mail message is a hoax, if you are concerned about the
contents of a package you receive in the mail, contact your local post
office. It is a criminal offense to send potentially hazardous agents
through the mail for the purpose of deliberately causing harm to human
health. When such an incident occurs, the local emergency response
system should be activated by dialing 911 in most communities; in
communities without 911 systems, local law enforcement authorities
should be notified. The local FBI field office and local and state
public health authorities also should be notified."

Thank the G-d it has not happened (yet).
