Baker and notables collectors,
There are several Plum Islands on the east coast of the United States.
Plum Island, South Carolina is not the location of the DHS animal disease facility.
That facility is located in Long Island Sound between Connecticut and Long Island, NY. THAT Plum Island is the source of Lyme disease.
Please, try to BE BEST, autists.

Since 1954, the DHS S&T Office of National Laboratories (ONL) Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC) has served as the nation’s premier defense against accidental or intentional introduction of transboundary animal diseases (a.k.a. foreign animal diseases) including foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). PIADC is the only laboratory in the nation that can work on live FMD virus (FMDV). The lab and its staff of nearly 400 employees provide a host of high-impact, indispensable preparedness and response capabilities, including vaccine R&D, diagnostics, training, and bioforensics among others.
