Anthrax (disease)
Anthrax is a disease that causes skin lesions and respiratory distress. It can be fatal. It is extremely resilient, and can live outside the body for years. It can be a serious threat to cattle, but due to modern medicine, this is more rare than it used to be. Anthrax has also made the news due to its occasional use in bio-terrorism.
