Hadn’t seen this earlier. The article refers to naturally occurring anthrax. but is it really “naturally occurring” in North America – or is it another “introduced” disease – that accompanied domestic sheep in particular into the American West? Anyone know the answer?
Natural. But grazing animals do a fine job with transmission.
kt,
Yes, based on my studies, Anthrax is a naturally occurring illness that has been prevalent since before Europeian white man came to the American wilderness, there is no conspiracy on this particular topic..
Based on scientific research, Anthrax has been around for a very long time..it is a illness that lays dormant and blooms when the conditions are right for the spread of it…don’t try to make everything into something that it is not…we have enough issues to muddy the waters of the fight in the west, without this type of speculation.
Please note the update on the Anthrax story.
