Anthrax is considered dangerous due to its potential as a bioweapon and its ability to cause severe illness in humans and livestock. The bacterium Bacillus anthracis can form resilient spores that survive in the environment for long periods, making it easy to disseminate. Upon entering the body, these spores can lead to serious infections affecting the skin, lungs, or gastrointestinal tract, often resulting in high mortality rates if untreated. Moreover, its rapid onset and severe symptoms can overwhelm healthcare systems during outbreaks.
