Anthrax

[mikebratcher69]

Anthrax is a serious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. While it most commonly occurs in animals (such as cattle, sheep, and antelopes), it can affect humans. Transmission typically occurs in one of two ways: from animals, or as the result of a biological weapon. Treating anthrax usually involves antibiotics, and providing relief of symptoms and complications as the body fights the bacteria.
