Anthrax is a serious bacterial infection caused by a bacterium called Bacillus anthracis. It can affect humans, animals, and even plants. Anthrax commonly occurs in livestock such as cattle, sheep, and goats. Humans can become infected through contact with infected animals or their products, as well as through breathing in tiny particles from infected materials or contact with contaminated soil. Symptoms of anthrax vary depending on the type of exposure but can include fever, chills, fatigue, cough, chest pain, and skin wounds. Inhalation anthrax is the most severe form and can be deadly if not treated immediately. Treatment typically involves antibiotics, and prevention measures include vaccination for at-risk populations, such as veterinarians and livestock handlers, as well as surveillance of animal populations.
