Despite the danger, it’s essential to note that Anthrax is not a contagious disease among humans. People can only get infected by coming into direct contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products.
“Signs of anthrax are flu-like symptoms such as cough, fever, muscle aches and if not diagnosed and treated early, lead to pneumonia, severe lung problems, difficulty in breathing, shock and death,”
