Anthrax as a Natural Curse and Dangerous Biological Weapon
By: Denis Glover

There are a lot of horrible diseases that shock the world and cause serious changes in the social life of nations. A bright example is a great Plague in London that was stopped by fire and caused a renovation of the city. Thousands of people died without knowing how to treat it. Now people are armed with knowledge and modern technologies and still there are severe maladies that kill people and the treatment has not yet been found. Anthrax was used in 2001 to spread fear among Americans and frankly speaking, the terrorists managed to fulfill their task. People were afraid of white envelopes with powder and panic started to get through the shield of calmness. Severe cases of the disease occur in South and Central America, South and Eastern Asia, Africa and several countries of the Middle East. Anthrax is a disease that was transmitted to humans from animals, like cattle and sheep. People who are in contact with animals have an increased possibility to get infected and the symptoms show up in a week or even less.

The symptoms of the disease are different, depending on the way of getting infected. One of the ways is the impact of the spores of anthrax onto the skin. At first it looks as if it was loosing moisture and irritated. Then a bump appears that looks like an insect bite. The bump develops into an ulcer that has a black area in the center and slowly spreads its borders. The only way to avoid further problems is to go directly to hospital to get proper medication. The other way to get infected is to inhale the spores of anthrax and let them into the airway. The first symptoms look as if a patient has influenza, but further complications are severe including breathing difficulty and shock similar to that epileptic have. And the last way to get infected is to intestine the spores. The symptoms are much like those people who suffer from indigestion have. But the complications afterwards lead to the lethal case unless a person gets vaccinated.

Vaccination was founded in the USA and released into the public in the 70’s. Now all professionals connected with animal contacts get vaccinated obligatory (butchers, veterinarians, farmers). The task of the UN is to spread the vaccination to the areas of major impact. Anthrax is a dangerous disease that was used as a biological weapon and demonstrated the cruelty of people that assassin others in a horrible way. The only weapon we can use to protect us is our knowledge and awareness together with humanity.
