I get into your blood stream we POISON your Blood.
Once in your blood we act very fast. We can make you

“Hey, good to see you again! You’ve know about us for a loooong time

We cause skin problems if we get into a cut and could even kill you if
you inhale us into your lungs.
With medicine, you can destroy us if you get treatment early enough.
We like to let you think you’re just getting a cold and then we hit you
hard.
Facts about
ANTHRAX
- caused by Bacillus anthracis bacteria
- mostly found in animals such as horses, sheep, goats, and mules
- rare in humans. Only about 1 in 100,000 people who are exposed actually get the disease (from animals).
- Skin Anthrax: bacteria enter through cuts and scratches on skin.
- Intestinal Anthrax: you must eat infected, undercooked meat. This is very rare in developed countries.
- Inhalation Anthrax: dried spores are inhaled. Most dangerous form.
- All forms of the disease can be treated with antibiotics but inhalation anthrax must be treated early.
- anthrax is not passed on from person to person.
- anthrax can kill you.
- anthrax can be used as a biological weapon.
