| *Anthrax from animals. Humans can become [[infected]] with anthrax by handling products from infected animals or by breathing in anthrax spores from infected animal products (like wool, for example). People also can become [[infected]] with [[gastrointestinal]] anthrax by eating undercooked meat from infected animals.
