Understanding Anthrax and Its Effects

Anthrax is a serious and potentially fatal infection caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis. Historically, the main source of the disease has been livestock and animal hair used in various industries. Those most at risk were individuals frequently in contact with animal materials, such as workers in wool and leather processing, animal slaughter, bone processing, and storage or distribution of animal products.

In recent years, the construction industry has seen a small but significant risk of anthrax exposure, particularly when working with historic plaster reinforced with animal hair (e.g., horsehair plaster), old tanneries, wool processing sites, or during the reclamation of former industrial sites linked with animal production.
