A Deadly Pathogen's Impact on Human Health: Unraveling Anthrax. Few infectious disease viruses instill terror in people's hearts like Anthrax does. The lethal effects of this particular bacterium have been well-documented throughout history, giving it a long past. Anthrax is a dreadful bioterrorism weapon in addition to being a biological hazard. We will explore Anthrax in this blog, learning about its traits, mode of transmission, symptoms, therapies, and steps taken to deal with this lethal illness. Anthrax is an infection caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. It can occur in four forms: skin, lungs, intestinal, and injection. Symptom onset occurs between one day and more than two months after the infection is contracted. The skin form presents with a small blister with surrounding swelling that often turns into a painless ulcer with a black center. The inhalation form presents with fever, chest pain, and shortness of breath. The intestinal form presents with diarrhea (which may contain blood), abdominal pains, nausea, and vomiting. The injection form presents with a fever and an abscess at the site of the drug injection.
