Christopher Pascal Norris died "after coming into contact with anthrax spores" last year.
Now the town hall he used is being decontaminated by an American company Sabre.
But wait .....the hall has been used between the time of his death in July and November last year when they suddenly decided it was a risk.
A woman, who lives in the village but did not want to be named, said NHS Borders had over-reacted.
"There's more poison in the pesticides I bring home in my weekly groceries than there is in that hall," she said.
"As far as I understand it, there's no established anthrax link with the death of this man last year.
"Now we've got lots of fat little men in dark glasses who have descended upon this village and are strutting about like they're the Mafia."
Retired civil servant Chris Burns, 72, who lives next door to the village hall, said: "It's a load of nonsense. The hall's been used I don't know how many times between when Mr Norris died in July and they closed it in November, and nobody has had so much as a sniffle."
