Anthrax can be fatal. Historically, anthrax was only picked up from animal hairs such as wool. An outbreak among woolen workers in Manchester, New Hampshire (1957) killed 9 workers. Today, anthrax in humans is seen mainly in developing countries. However, in the last few years it has been introduced via illicit drugs. One outbreak in Scotland (2009) killed 10 drug users.
