Anthrax (disease)

Anthrax is a disease that causes skin lesions and respiratory distress. It can be fatal. It is extremely resilient, and can live outside the body for years. It can be a serious threat to cattle, but due to modern medicine, this is more rare than it used to be. Anthrax has also made the news due to its occasional use in bio-terrorism.

Can anthrax transmitted through milk of affected cow?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Anthrax is a fast-killing bacteria, that goes through the blood stream to cause chaos to areas like the brain and heart. So, yes, anthrax bacteria can be transmitted through the milk. But chances are milk quantity will decrease and the cow will be acting so strange that the calf won't be able to suckle from the affected cow. It only takes a few hours or less for Anthrax to kill a cow.

Can anthrax be cured?

Asked by Wiki User

It's an infection. There are two types of infections, bacteria and viruses. Bacteria are complex living things, and can be killed. Viruses are simpler. They are more like substances than living things. Essentially, they're a kind of poison. These 'poisons' take time to be removed from the body. We use vaccines to prepare our bodies should we get viruses. Most of the time we survive them but some aren't a hundred percent survival rate. Anthrax is a virus. Fortunately, it's been around for along time, so we know how to deal with. Sometimes, though, people die from it. But not very often.
