Anthrax

Anthrax - Frequently Asked Questions

Is anthrax contagious?
No. Anthrax is not a contagious disease and the illness cannot be transmitted from person to person.

Does a patient have immunity after recovering from anthrax infection?
There is not enough data at this time to confirm this, however, it is theoretically possible to gain post-infection immunity.

How can I prevent Anthrax after an exposure ?
Treatment is different for a person who is exposed to anthrax, but is not yet sick. Health-care providers will use antibiotics (such as ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, or penicillin) combined with the anthrax vaccine to prevent anthrax infection.
