Anthrax is a naturally present bacteria in most soils around the world, and can infect most mammals. In animals and people, anthrax is usually detected by a doctor looking at a small drop of blood under a microscope or by growing the bacteria from a blood sample. In animals, anthrax can be strongly suspected when an animal dies suddenly and unexpectedly and the animal's blood does not clot within an hour or two of death.
