Is Anthrax contagious? I guess it depends on how you interpret the information.
Anthrax is not contagious; it cannot be transmitted from person to person.
Anthrax transmission occurs in one of two ways:
1. Contact with infected animals or animal products
2. As a result of bio-terrorism - Example: in 2001 Anthrax was deliberately spread through the postal system by sending letters containing anthrax powder. This caused 22 cases of Anthrax infections.
The CDC classifies agents into 3 priority areas. Anthrax is classified as a Category A agent. This means:
1. May spread across a large area, or require public awareness.
2. Pose the greatest possible threat for a bad effect on public health.
3. Require a great deal of planning to protect the public's health.
