SYMPTOMS:
Usually symptoms appear within seven days. Inhalation anthrax infection can start
out like a common cold before acute symptoms such as severe breathing problems

Death can occur within 24 hours of the onset of acute symptoms.
TREATMENT:
Antibiotics, including penicillin. A delay in the use of antibiotics -- even in terms
of hours -- may lessen chances for survival.
PREVENTION: Vaccine
