	Anthrax Information
		Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by spores of the bacterium, Bacillus anthracis.
		The mortality rates from anthrax vary, depending on exposure, and are approximately 20% for cutaneous anthrax without antibiotics and 25 - 75% for gastrointestinal anthrax; inhalation anthrax has a fatality rate that is 80% or higher.
		During the trial, 26 cases of anthrax were reported at the mills - five inhalation and 21 cutaneous cases.

		Although the anthrax preparations were of different grades, all of the material derived from the same bacterial strain.
		Although his doctors believe that the illness was caused by anthrax exposure, blood tests did not find anthrax bacteria or antibodies, and therefore the CDC does not recognize it as a case of inhalation anthrax.
