Deadly Pathogen: Exists Military: Is for me? 👉👈

"There are three different ways of contracting Anthrax: CD, vinyl and digital download."

Anthrax is insane. I live in Texas and I used to hunt near the border of Mexico. One year, all except for 3-4 of the hundreds of deer that lived on the property disappeared. It didn't take long to figure out that it was Anthrax that killed them all. Apparently in that region it isn't uncommon to have an outbreak about every 10 years.

I was in high school during the Antrax Scare. I only remember 2 things about it. 1)Mailmen literally chucking fradgile boxes into people's lawns to avoid handing mail. 2)Being told a year latter than the whole thing had been a hoax carried on after only a handful of real cases, & that the culprit was not a foreign terrorist but a local madman.

My eldest son made an interesting note about this. What if all of those "cursed objects" that are handed down in families in history actually have anthrax spores on them which is what actually killed those who inherited them. Edit: Well, this has done better than I ever thought it would. Thank you! I actually thanked my son but he said that his dad and I deserve all the credit because we taught him and his brother to question everything.

"I have a fever and headache" Google: Take a rest, relax, drink water and lower your body temperature Bing:

The fact it can lay dormant for thousands of years and be revived with just a drop of blood is some 28 days later type stuff. Anthrax is my Roman Empire

I remember getting the Anthrax vaccine while being deployed...the vaccine itself caused almost 2 weeks of uncomfortabilty in the least... id hate to imagine what the real deal must feel like 😱
-
I've gotten the anthrax vaccine so many times in the military I could eat a whole bowl of anthrax and still have an easier time that the aftermath of Taco Tuesday.

Me: Just a fever Parents: Just a fever Doctor: Just a fever Google: COVID Bing:

One of my college professors had an anthrax scare at the (iirc) higher up law enforcement agencies he worked at. He was on mail duty one day or something and noticed a white powder came out of one envelop when it was closed and alerted the whole company. (I don't fully remember the story, it was a while ago). He was congratulated for being on the ball but some people were mad they had to do so much work to make sure it was safe. It was like baby powder or something.

In Russian, anthrax is called "Siberian ulcer". As a Siberian, I always felt oddly responsible for the infamous letter attacks.
-
why did i always think anthrax was a chemical and not a disease loll
-
Imagine you’re a scientist handling a thawed mammoth corpse and you get anthrax.
-
So many people didn't realize this was in the soil. A lot of people don't realize tetanus lives in the soil also. It's not just rusty stuff you need to watch out for. Make sure to be up to date your dtap shots folks!

We had an anthrax outbreak in Turkey a few years back. Around the same time after eating some nasty late night food, I got a nearly 40C fewer that doctors said was because of a gastro-intestinal infection. Turns out it wasn't Anthrax, and I got better, but I was absolutely terrified for those few days.
-
"It still only has a 20% chance of killing you." That still sounds pretty damn high.
-
Being an adult now just replaces my fear of quicksand to anthrax
-
I think (hope) that if anthrax becomes a larger issue, a human-compatible vaccine is more widely available.

Everytime I hear about anthrax, I remember about the fact that there was some that was weaponized near quebec city on Grosse Isle durring the WW2 and that they are disposed in barrels at the bottom of the Saint-Lawrence river. We haven't seen any confirmation that it has been neutralized from what I know, so it could be scary if it escape the barrel that contain them
