Patients have to acquire the helium themselves.
Given that the patient had not traveled, she likely acquired the lethal strain of Panton-Valentine leukocidin positive S. aureus locally.

For example, if a contact irritant response occurred more quickly than a toxic response, the contact irritant mechanism could function to preclude toxicity by causing insects to move away from the chemical prior to acquiring a lethal dose yet may not be intense enough to prevent feeding.
Among some 30 biological agents that have been studied as potential weapons, anthrax may be the most likely choice for terrorists because it is easier to acquire than most and is so lethal, killing 80 to 90percentt of all unvaccinated people who are not treated promptly.
Executions have been on hold in Vietnam because the government cannot acquire the drugs used for lethal injection (pharmaceutical companies that manufacture the drugs have refused to supply their medicines for such means).
Lung cancer is one of the most lethal types of cancer to acquire, as reflected in a 5-year survival rate of only 14%.
Thus, as both a proof-of-principle test and to acquire potentially valuable information, we have applied the technique to analyze interactions among polytene chromosome-bound components of the male-specific lethal (MSL) complex.
