Anthrax is insane. I live in Texas and I used to hunt near the border of Mexico. One year, all except for 3-4 of the hundreds of deer that lived on the property disappeared. It didn't take long to figure out that it was Anthrax that killed them all. Apparently in that region it isn't uncommon to have an outbreak about every 10 years.

One already exists. If you join the military or become a vet, you'll almost definitely end up receiving the vaccine.

Which is why it's not something the general public normally receives like the measles vaccine or something. But that's better than dealing with the real thing and having a good chance of dying if you do get the real thing, I suppose.

So their mouths will contact the soil and they'll pick up the spores.

The Anthrax scares led to anthrax featuring heavily in the game “C&C Generals” in which the big bad terrorist faction used anthrax sprayers and anthrax laden missiles.

2:30 I would actually like to point out that there are 4 main ways people encounter Anthrax poisoning; cutaneous, inhalation, gastrointestinal and introcutaneous. Most commonly through syringe injection, it has never been reported in the United States, but recently it’s been a problem with drug users in northern Europe via contaminated needles. Symptoms are similar to cutaneous, yet the infection can be deeper under the skin or develop in muscle tissue. Along with this, it’s harder to treat because it spreads more rapidly than cutaneous and can be harder to recognize at first.

Real talk, if these people never did the work they did, our understanding of how to prevent disease would have been decades behind what it is now. It’s very likely that sulfa-drugs wouldn’t have been developed, penicillin wouldn’t have been discovered, and very likely that our understanding of viruses would be so rudimentary that Ebola would have devastated the world. It’s why in science we very much respect those who came before. Each generation stand upon the shoulder of giants, who then become giants themselves for the next.

I was tearing down a log house from mid 1800's and I got a huge mat of old insulation fall in my face. I was seriously ill the following day and as stubborn as I was I refused to get medical assistance. 104.5 F degree fever and severe chest pains and coughing up chunks of some horrible looking gunk. From there I hardly recall how long I was I'll for but it was at least a week to at most a 3 weeks before I was finally convinced that I needed to get medication. I lost almost 10 pounds from not being able to eat. I never got a diagnosis, which I hate to admit was due to my urgent need of treatment and the negligence of the doctors who treated me they simply gave me a very strong broad spectrum of antibiotics. I was 15 at the time. I'm still affected by lung damage and heart issues mostly due to my foolish decision of ignoring health care for so long. I always wonder if I contracted some kind of anthrax or some kind of zoonotic illness. Could have also been complications from asbestos which I suppose is most likely.

You know, when you think about global warming, anthrax isn't really the first thing that comes to mind. That realization has kind of unnerved me now.

[@loftyradish6972]

It is pretty incredible actually the relationship between global warming and disease. For example mosquito bourne viruses such as malaria and dengue are migrating to areas they didn't previously exist in, and their "seasons" are longer as the warmer climates are allowing the mosquitoes to live in places and times of the year that were previously inhospitable to them.

@@thesavantart8480 Right. You fear what would happen without control over you "for your own protection" - regardless of who the supposed virus targets, and without an eye towards the disappearance of common infections. There will never be a vaccine to get rid of this thing. It mutates as much as a cold. If ever the spread was to be stopped, it would have been at it's point of origin. The CCP bought it enough time to take off. Is it miraculous that you can have and spread the thing without symptoms, and that any other common infection will have you testing positive via pcr? It's not magic - it's corruption.
