What are the symptoms for anthrax?

Question

Don`t worry,. I don`t think I or any one I know have it!

Answer 1

These symptoms can occur within 7 days of infection:

Fever (temperature greater than 100 degrees F). The fever may be accompanied by chills or night sweats.
Flu-like symptoms
Cough, usually a non-productive cough, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle aches
Sore throat, followed by difficulty swallowing, enlarged lymph nodes, headache, nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal distress, vomiting, or diarrhea
A sore, especially on your face, arms or hands, that starts as a raised bump and develops into a painless ulcer with a black area in the center.

Answer 2

In humans the disease appears in both external and internal forms, with a death rate of about 20 percent. The external or cutaneous form is contracted through cuts or abrasions in the skin by those who handle infected hides and carcasses and may be self- limiting. but often disseminates into the bloodstream with fever and prostration. It is characterised by malignant pustules on exposed skin areas. The internal type is acquired by inhaling anthrax spores, as from animal hair and wool, which invade the lungs and sometimes the intestinal tract to cause hemorrhage. It is speculated that an intestinal variety may be caused by consuming contaminated meat or milk. Workers exposed to animal products, especially wool, are protected by vaccination. Penicillin and tetracycline`s are effective in treatment except in rapidly progressive cases.

Answer 3

It depends.
If you inhale it - respiratory collapse. Near 100% mortality.
If you ingest it - severe diarrhea, vomiting blood, intenstinal inflammation... 25-50% mortality.
If it comes in contact with your skin? Large, painless black ulcers form. 20% mortality, but it's the pictures you see online all the time.
All are treatable if you catch them in time.
