Facts about anthrax (Hawk)

  Author:  277  Category:(News) Created:(10/10/2001 2:50:00 PM)

Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. The spore produces a toxin that can be fatal.

How it spreads:

The spores can spread by inhalation or ingestion.

Symptoms:

Symptoms usually appear within seven days.

Inhalation anthrax infection can start out like a common cold before acute symptoms such as severe breathing problems and shock.

Infection by consuming contaminated food is characterized by inflammation of the intestinal tract, leading to vomiting of blood and severe diarrhea.

Death can occur within 24 hours of the onset of acute symptoms.



Treatment: Antibiotics, including penicillin. A delay in the use of antibiotics -- even in terms of hours -- may lessen chances for survival.



Prevention: Vaccine

Date: 10/10/2001 2:56:00 PM  From Authorid: 16845    death AFTER the acute symptoms begin gail.   
Date: 10/10/2001 2:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 29216    This is very freaky considering the fact that my school recieved a threat of anthrax! I hope I don't get a cold!  
Date: 10/10/2001 2:58:00 PM  From Authorid: 14084    I hate the idea of a slow death  
Date: 10/10/2001 3:20:00 PM  From Authorid: 2030    Good info Hawk. Thanks.  
Date: 10/10/2001 4:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 42563    Since it is being sent through the mail before I check the mail I'm going to start wearing gloves and a mask so I don't breath anything and I guess I'll have to go and get a penicillin shot and since Amanda thinks that she may be allergic to penicillin she gonna have to start taking antibiotics I hope this ain't that serious...Nakoma  
Date: 10/10/2001 4:55:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    Penicillin and antibiotics will not prevent anthrax. Only the vaccine will prevent it and there are several stages of the shots.  
Date: 10/10/2001 9:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 38474    Hawk, THANK YOU for posting this, it is great info. Checking my med cab now for penicillin, lol............  
Date: 10/12/2001 10:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 19342    The vaccine is only available to military personnel , the public has no access to this medication!  
Date: 10/12/2001 11:02:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 277    You are correct Stargazer. Once again, the military personnel are the guneia pigs with the vaccines.
