Several years have passed since the first cases of anthrax were reported in the USA in 2001. So what type of the illness is that? How it is developed? Whether it is possible to find effective and efficient cure against it? Anthrax is the illness contracted by animals, mostly by cattle and sheep. Nevertheless it can be transmitted to humans I they have been in close contacts with infected animals or somehow interacted with the several parts of infected animals. As one can draw conclusion from the facts mentioned Anthrax is one of the most widespread diseases especially in the regions where there are traditionally close contacts between the humans and animals. For instance this type of disease is frequently occurred in such regions as South and Central America, South and Eastern Asia, Africa and several countries of the Middle East. If the persons were indirect contacts with the infected animals they might get this disease, the symptoms may vary but most of them might occur within the week.

Let us focus on several of them. First of all the person might be contracted by skin. In this case, the bump which might look like the bite of some incest may develop and then within several days usually two or three transformed into an ulcer. In this case it is possible to distinguish some black area in the center of the ulcer mentioned. If effective and efficient therapy was applied it might reduce the possibility of the death from this illness. Another type of the disease by inhalation might lead to severe complications. First of all the initial symptoms might look like the symptoms of typical influenza. The symptoms of the illness might be quickly transformed, which in turn may lead to severe respiratory problems such as breathing problems as well some shock reactions. If the illness is untreated it might lead to the death. Intestinal anthrax entails difficult complications and may lead to the death as well (www.perseus.tufts.edu). Vaccinations are the best option to secure oneself from the threat of this disease. The vaccine against anthrax was first introduced in the USA in the middle of the fifties and has been used since the 70s after it was allowed to be used by Food and Drug administration.

It is imperative that all persons who are in direct contact with the animals wither in the USA or other countries ( there are some American farmers and veterinaries in less developing nations as well) receive the vaccine that can treat this illness. Like the science teacher resume for the person who intends to apply for the position of the teacher or like an executive resume which is a prerequisite to be accepted to executive management position, so is the vaccine against anthrax is so far the best method to avoid this illness. Certainly one should not forget that terrorist s or criminals may use anthrax spores again as was the case in 2001. In order to avoid it one should be prepared and know what actions should be taken in case the USA faces this threat again.
