Anthrax in animals may cause staggering, bloody discharge, convulsions, and suffocation, and may be fatal almost immediately. In humans, if the bacteria enter through a cut or other opening in the skin, a dark, itchy bump like an insect bite appears and then develops into an open sore with a black area in the center. It can be treated with antimicrobial drugs, but death results in about 20 percent of untreated cases Symptoms of inhaled anthrax in humans are at first like a cold or the flu, with general aches and pains, fever, fatigue, cough, and mild chest pain. Inhaled anthrax is fatal unless the infected person is immediately treated with antibiotics. The gastrointestinal form of anthrax in humans causes nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and severe diarrhea. The disease can be fatal in 20 percent to 60 percent of cases.
