Symptoms of cutaneous anthrax start 1 to 7 days after exposure: 1  An itchy sore develops that is similar to an insect bite. This sore may blister and form a black ulcer (sore or eschar). 2  The sore is usually painless, but it is often surrounded by swelling.  A scab often forms, and then dries and falls off within 2 weeks.
Anthrax Introduction. Anthrax is caused by exposure to the spores of the bacteria Bacillus anthracis that become entrenched in the host body and produce lethal poisons. It is primarily a disease of grazing animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, and horses.Pigs are more resistant, as are dogs and cats. Cutaneous (skin) anthrax causes a characteristic sore on the skin and results from exposure to the spores after handling sick animals or contaminated animal wool, hair, hides, or bone meal products. 2  It is an occupational hazard for veterinarians, farmers, and people who handle animal products.
