The lasting effects of anthrax can vary depending on the form of the disease contracted—cutaneous, inhalational, or gastrointestinal. Survivors of inhalational anthrax may experience chronic respiratory issues and neurological complications due to the severity of the infection. In cases of cutaneous anthrax, scarring and skin damage can persist.

"War shock" refers to the psychological trauma and emotional distress experienced by individuals, particularly soldiers, as a result of their exposure to the horrors of war. This condition can manifest as symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including anxiety, depression, and flashbacks. It highlights the profound impact of violent conflict on mental health, often persisting long after the conflict has ended. The term underscores the need for support and treatment for those affected by the traumas of war.
