Anthrax Article Summary

Anthrax is a spore forming bacterium that comes from the Greek word for 'coal'. It got the name because of the rashes and legions that look like coal dust.

Less than1 percent of cutaneous anthrax cases lead to death. Cutaneous anthrax can be treated with antibiotics and will usually evolve and leave a minor scar.
