A potentially fatal bacterial disease of both animals and humans that can be spread from infected dead animal carcases, and can contaminate the ground for decades.  

[[Anthrax]] is a potentially fatal bacterial disease of both animals and humans that can be spread from infected dead animal carcases, and can contaminate the ground for decades.  

Anthrax bacteria release spores onto the ground (especially when an infected carcass is opened). These spores can survive decades on the soil, and can then infect other animals, or people, that come into contact with them. The disease can be spread between animals, as well as to people, and usually occurs 2-7d after infection. Potentially infected carcases should not be cut open, handled, or eaten, as there is a risk to both animal and human health.
