More anthrax news since I have written previously about anthrax outbreaks in Texas deer, North Dakota beef bull and Montana bison. However in this story, the victims are people and the setting is across the vast Pacific Ocean over in India where twenty-five (25) people are ill from a suspected anthrax outbreak.
The outbreak is believed to be caused by some villagers who ate the meat of infected animals.
