In the math department at my university, we have a room for the undergrad honours students. It has this box in it, allegedly from a wine and cheese mixer over a year ago.

I want to deal with the box. My friend says if I open the box, there is a 3% chance I could die. He wants to get the administration involved because he thinks this is a genuine biohazard. I think the biology of the situation will be rather tame given the amount of time passed.

So, /sci/, what do you think? Should I deal with the box? Will I die if it accidentally opens? Do I need professional help? Why are math undergrads like this?
