Please check these hoaxes out before infecting the list with them.  If you
circulate a hoax, you are the virus.

From the National Center for Infectious Diseases:-

False E-mail Report about "Klingerman Virus"
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.
