How did the europeans know anthrax wasnt the black death?
Because, Anthrax and the Bubonic plague, also known as Black Death are two different types of diseases. African mammals were often infected with Anthrax, and the spores could have easily reached Europe through air currents. This evidence suggests that Anthrax was present at the time of the Black Death and was responsible for or at least contributed to the great many deaths the plague caused. But whether or not it was the cause of the Black Death, or simply aided the Bubonic Plague in some capacity in making people sick, remains unclear.

In contrast, the mortality rates for cutaneous anthrax are much lower, typically around 1%.
Does anthrax affect DNA or RNA?
Anthrax primarily affects the body by producing toxins that interfere with cellular functions, rather than directly targeting DNA or RNA. The toxins produced by the anthrax bacteria disrupt cell signaling pathways and lead to cell death.
