What is the most common type of anthrax?

Answer 1

Anthrax is an acute disease caused by Bacillius anthracis.

The progression of the disease depends on how the host becomes infected, if the bacteria are inhaled it is lung infection, if they are introduced to the blood it is pulmonary, and if they are eaten it is gastrointestinal.

Answer 2

The three different types of Anthrax are distinguished mostly by the way in which they are contracted.

The first type of Anthrax is called Pulmonary Anthrax. Pulmonary Anthrax is contracted through the respiratory inhalation of the Anthrax spores. This type leads to cold and flu like symptoms that persist for several days, eventually culminating the respiratory failure. This is the same type of Anthrax that was used in the infamous 2001 Anthrax attacks, and is that same type that is used in biological warfare.

The second type of Anthrax is called Gastrointestinal Anthrax. A victim develops this form of Anthrax through the ingestion of infected meat. Vomiting blood, loss of appetite, digestive tract inflammation, and severe diarrhea are common symptoms of this form.

The third type of Anthrax is called Cutaneous Anthrax, and affects the body when anthrax spores enter the skin through an open cut or lesion. Cutaneous Anthrax leads to a skin ulcer that usually forms a black center. If left without treatment, this form of Anthrax can lead to further complications such as Toxemia, resulting in death.
