Anthrax also called anthrax, is a very serious infectious disease.\u00a0It occurs primarily in animals, but humans can also be infected.\u00a0It is very rare for people to get anthrax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anthrax<\/strong> has different symptoms depending on how the disease is transmitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most common in humans is that the infection occurs through the skin.\u00a0Then the disease often begins as a wound that becomes lasting and deep.\u00a0Usually, the wound does not hurt.\u00a0The bacteria can cause\u00a0sepsis, also called blood poisoning, which is a serious condition that requires treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If bacterial spores are inhaled, anthrax starts as severe\u00a0pneumonia.\u00a0It is followed by blood poisoning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anthrax in the gastrointestinal tract causes stomach pain,\u00a0fever, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and sometimes also blood poisoning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n The symptoms usually come within two days of the infection but can take up to a week.\u00a0Sometimes it takes even longer, but it is unusual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When anthrax<\/em> is transmitted through the lungs or gastrointestinal tract, the person infected becomes rapidly ill.\u00a0It is very unusual and life-threatening condition.\u00a0If this happens, it is important to get prompt treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to seek emergency care if you suspect you have become ill with anthrax, no matter what time of day it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anthrax does not infect humans.\u00a0On the other hand, you can be infected if wounds on the skin come into contact with infected animals.\u00a0It can be contacted with a tissue as well as soil, traps, feed or anything else that has been contaminated with the bacterium.\u00a0Among domestic animals, anthrax is most common in cattle, horses, sheep, and goats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also get the disease if you eat anthrax meat or inhale bacterial spores. The spores can be found in dust from wool or soil. There, the bacteria can survive for decades and continue to be equally contagious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anthrax is a generally dangerous disease and must be reported in accordance with the Infection Protection Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most important thing to prevent anthrax<\/span> fire in humans is that people who work with animals have good knowledge and work and hygiene routines.\u00a0This applies, for example, to the staff at veterinary medical facilities, factories that handle animal skins and laboratories.\u00a0In this way, contact with the bacterium can be avoided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there is any suspicion that you have come into contact with anthrax infection, you can get antibiotics for preventive purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anthrax is treated with\u00a0antibiotics.\u00a0People who receive treatment of anthrax<\/strong> on time are almost always healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anthrax is caused by a bacterium. The bacteria can form spores that have the ability to survive in, for example, soil for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most recent case when a human became ill in anthrax occurred in 1965. An outbreak among cattle occurred in \u00d6sterg\u00f6tland in 2016. The last major outbreak among cattle before that was in the vicinity of \u00d6rebro 2011. Even in 2013, a single case occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2001, anthrax spores were spread by mail in the United States by an unknown person, causing several deaths.

It is very rare for people to get anthrax.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2,881,1014],"tags":[1087,658,1088],"class_list":["post-773","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-diseases","category-infections","category-unusual-infections","tag-anthrax","tag-infections","tag-symptoms-of-anthrax"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=773"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2949,"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/773\/revisions\/2949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/zeepedia.com\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Rapid illness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
