anthrax
Anthrax is caused by Bacillus anthracis, an acute infectious disease that is common to both humans and animals. Humans become infected by contact with sick animals and their products, or by eating sick animal meat. Clinically, it mainly manifests as skin necrosis, ulcers, eschars, and extensive edema of surrounding tissues, as well as symptoms of toxemia, hemorrhagic infiltration of subcutaneous and subserous connective tissues; poor blood coagulation, coal tar-like, and occasionally causing acute infection of the lungs, intestines, and meninges, and may be accompanied by sepsis. Under natural conditions, herbivorous animals are most susceptible, and humans are moderately sensitive. It mainly occurs in people who have more contact with animals and animal product processing, and those who accidentally eat sick animal meat.
