Anthrax is a highly infectious and potentially deadly disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. It can affect humans and animals, with various forms of infection, including cutaneous anthrax, inhalation anthrax and gastrointestinal anthrax. Anthrax is known for its resilient spores, which can persist in the environment and pose a threat if not properly managed.
Cutaneous Anthrax: Cutaneous anthrax is the most common form and typically occurs when individuals come into direct contact with anthrax spores from contaminated animal products like hides, wool, or meat. It can also result from contact with soil or materials contaminated with spores.
Symptoms of Cutaneous Anthrax: Symptoms typically appear 1-7 days after exposure. Symptoms may include:
Itchy bump or sore at the site of exposure (usually the skin).
Lesion turns into an ulcer with a black center (hence the term “black anthrax”).
Swelling in the affected area.
Mild fever.
Swollen lymph nodes.
