Scientists are making strides that could lead to a cure to the anthrax toxins, and they are helping to clarify the pathways by which it kills. Some scientists have made a synthetic compound to disable that toxin that makes anthrax so deadly. Others have discovered a gene that protects mice against anthrax.

The antitoxin has only been tested in rats. And so, scientists aren't sure if they will work in humans. Current treatments, and vaccines now in use have some drawbacks. This is why the scientists are trying to work on neutralizing the toxin all together.
