Pr. Petersen posted an article over on Cyberstones today which is worth the read, especially given the panic surrounding the swine flu.  Bottom line:  There is no reason to fear partaking of the Lord's Blood via the chalice, unless, of course, you do not believe it is the very Blood of the Lord you are receiving (cf. 1 Cor. 11:27ff.).
