| | Anthrax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Anthrax can enter the human body through the intestines, lungs (inhalation), or skin (cutaneous). | | | When anthrax affects humans, it is usually due to an occupational exposure to infected animals or their products (such as skin and meat). | | | Unlike bruises or most other lesions, cutaneous anthrax does not cause pain. |

| | To diagnose intestinal anthrax, your doctor may examine your throat or intestines with the aid of an endoscope — a thin, flexible tube with a video camera at its tip that can be inserted into your throat or intestines to check for anthrax lesions. | | | Gastrointestinal anthrax causes sores (ulcers) within your intestines — much like the sores that appear on the skin in the cutaneous form. | | | Since this form of anthrax infects both the lungs and lymph nodes in your chest, there's often a very characteristic appearance on the chest X-ray. |
