Then there's the link of rescue workers inhaling the dust near ground zero at 9/11 and now beginning to develop cancers.
While the article was about the industrial uses of genetically modified yeast, a lot of medical research is also being done on genetics (often on mouse cells) and how genetically modified cells can be used to combat all sorts of health problems.
I would be more worried about a viral pandemic than a few genetically modified yeast cells.
