Anthrax is caused by Bacillus anthracis bacteria and can infect humans through the skin, lungs, or digestive system. It commonly affects farm animals. Skin anthrax causes a painless sore or ulcer, while inhalation anthrax results in flu-like symptoms. Digestive anthrax causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, and vomiting. All forms can be treated with antibiotics such as penicillin, doxycycline, or ciprofloxacin. Anthrax spores have been used as a bioterrorism weapon, and up to 60% of untreated cases of some forms may result in death.

2.  Anthrax is from the bacteria
Bacillus anthracis.
 It can be transferred by air, food,
and cut in the skin. Each with its
own symptoms and treatments.
 Anthrax is found in farm animals.

3.  Cut spread Anthrax will first cause a sore similar
to a insect bite. The sore will then turn into a
black ulcer. The sore is painless.
 Air born Anthrax will cause fever, headache,
malaise, cough, short breath, and chest pain
 Food spread Anthrax will cause abdominal pain,
diarrhea (bloody), fever, nausea, vomiting ( may
have blood), and mouth sores.

4.  Cut based Anthrax will be treated with the
antibiotics: penicillin, doxycycline, and
ciprofloxacin.
 Air born Anthrax will be treated with ciprofloxacin
and another drug.
 Food spread Anthrax will be treated with
penicillin, doxycycline, and ciprofloxacin.

5.  Anthrax is important because it
can and has been used as a
terrorist weapon. On 9/11 letters
were sent to a few people and
they contained a pounder version
of Anthrax.

6.  20% of people die from the ,cut based
anthrax, without antibiotics
 Not enough information is available for the
air based anthrax but the death toll is
almost always death
 25-60% of people die from the food based
anthrax
