***NOTE TO ANY MODS***
WHile I know that going full quote from a source in a "No-No", but given how the CDC like to "adjust" what they say, I think it's a good idea of what the page says as of this moment in time. I ask that some leeway be given due to the CDCs past history of "adjustments".
From: CDC, for now at least

Anthrax is a serious infectious disease caused by gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria known as Bacillus anthracis. It occurs naturally in soil and commonly affects domestic and wild animals around the world. People can get sick with anthrax if they come in contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products. Anthrax can cause severe illness in both humans and animals.
Anthrax is not contagious, which means you can’t catch it from another person like the cold or flu.
How people get infected with anthrax
People get infected with anthrax when spores get into the body. When anthrax spores get inside the body, they can be “activated.” The bacteria can then multiply, spread out in the body, produce toxins, and cause severe illness.
This can happen when people breathe in spores, eat food or drink water contaminated with spores, or get spores in a cut or scrape in the skin. It is very uncommon for people in the United States to get infected with anthrax.
Certain activities can also increase a person’s chances of getting infected.
How animals get infected with anthrax
Domestic and wild animals can become infected when they breathe in or ingest spores in contaminated soil, plants, or water. These animals can include cattle, sheep, goats, antelope, and deer. In areas where domestic animals have had anthrax in the past, routine vaccination can help prevent outbreaks.
Where anthrax is found
Anthrax is most common in agricultural regions of
Central and South America,
sub-Saharan Africa,
central and southwestern Asia,
southern and eastern Europe, and
the Caribbean.
Anthrax is rare in the United States. However, sporadic outbreaks do occur in wild and domestic grazing animals such as cattle or deer. Anthrax is more common in countries that do not have programs that routinely vaccinate animals against anthrax. In the United States, veterinarians recommend yearly vaccination of livestock in areas where animals have had anthrax in the past.
I posted the whole quote, because I'm sure if anthrax is the next thing when "monkey Pox" does fear monger, I'm sure the CDC will change what the anthrax page says.
One last thing to remember: "Yersinia pestis".
Back in the time of the Great Mortality, outbreaks of Anthrax infections were often confused with the Plague. China still hasn't come out with it's Bubonic Plague issue, and it's coming to the time of year when we should be seeing those nasty rats spread out across the land again.
This food shortage issue, is only going to push those brown field rats into more populated areas and spread the Plague more easily.
In the 1860s, a dying aristocracy struggles to maintain itself against a harsh Sicilian landscape. The film traces with a slow and deliberate rhythm the waning of the noble home of Fabrizio Corbero, Prince of Salina (the Leopard) and the corresponding rise to eminence of the enormously wealthy ex-peasant Don Calogero Sedara
