Anthrax is a rare but serious illness caused by a spore forming bacterium, Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax mainly affects livestock and wild game. Humans can become infected through direct or indirect contact with sick animals. Signs and symptoms, which depend on how you’re infected, can range from skin sores to vomiting to shock. Prompt treatment with antibiotics can cure most anthrax infections. Inhaled anthrax is more difficult to treat and can be fatal. A cutaneous anthrax infection enters your body through a cut or other sore on your skin. It’s by far the most common route the disease takes.
