cantankerous old coot
With all the different people testing positive, for anthrax,, it makes me wonder if,, many people have had it in the past, and it was misdiagnosed, and now with all the hoopla on anthrax,and training on identifying it,,,, they are finding it now, where as people who have come down with the quote flu and died or barely made it through, were misdiagnosed,,we do have natural anthrax out west, and the spores on a dry yr , with westerly winds, could drift farther than thought,,,, makes ya wonder though,,,:confused: :eek:

I was wondering the same thing erlrier today. Symptoms similar to the flu or menengitis. Wonder how many people have had anthrax in the past and it was just misdiagnosed because it wasn't something they were looking for?

Kinda like you never really notice how many of a particular vehicle there are until you get one yourself, then you see them all over the place.

I looked up anthrax in the Funk and Wagnalls encyclopedia, an old one from the early 90's. My new encyclopedia's are on the computer and say the same thing that we are being told on the news. This old encyclopedia said that anthrax was contagious and that warm blooded animals could contract the disease through contaminated food, animal carcasses, and blood bearing insects such as mosquitos, fleas, etc. and contaminated water supplies. It also stated that the carcasses of anthrax disease victims should be buried deep or cremated. The new encyclopedias of the past year say none of this.
