Fast-spreading spore-borne disease, Anthrax mainly affects wild and domestic lower vertebrates like cattle, goats and other herbivores, but can also infect humans.
When anthrax affects humans, it is usually due to an occupational exposure to infected animals or their products.
Those infected will have nausea, vomit, pain in the abdomen, diarrhea and weakness.
Anthrax, mainly a disease of farm animals, is spread by spores. Fatality rate without quick antibiotic treatment after inhaling the spores is as high as 80 per cent.
