Symptoms of Antrax:

Illness includes 3 types of infection: skin, inhalational, and gastrointestinal antrax. Skin antrax, which accounts for 95% of cases, is characterized by a painless lesion, often at the site of a cut or abrasion, that progresses from a lump to a vesicle to ulceration. The fatality rate in untreated disease approaches 20%. In inhalational anthrax, 2 stages of disease occur. Mild upper respiratory tract symptoms occur initially; severe shortness of breath, blueness around the mouth, rapid heart beat, rapid breathing, profuse sweating, fever, fluid in the lungs, and death may follow 2 to 5 days later.
