Is this pretty much Reba's anthrax sore you described? It's not weeping a lot, but there's some, I think.

It was round and a series of concentric rings on the inside of her right forearm. It was black, burned black, like burned brownies in the middle, the next ring was yellow pus, hard formed peaks, like cool whip. Next was a thin wall of cells covering an obvious liquid underneath. You could look through the thin layer of cells and see what looked like the ocean floor with nodules floating back and forth in the broth. The nodules were brown, yellow and reddish and appeared to be tethered to the surface beneath them.

The next ring was a white raised circle, flat on top but you could see capillaries coming near the surface making it look like a vat of milk with purple, red and brown snakes frozen tight.

The next ring appeared to be normal skin, but it was quite narrow and on the level with the normal skin. This narrow band was surrounded by what appeared to be a bruise.

I saw the sore on her arm once about one week after she was infected. It was sort of like that, but not exactly. The black part on what I saw was a lot smaller and the yellow ring was a lot bigger and covered with more transparent skin where you could see the things under the thin layer of cells. I saw the same sore another week later and I only saw part of it. The part where the capillaries were turning purple.

The husbands sore was viewed 15 days after infection and was on his face and much smaller between his eye and his nose and that was the one that ran the most.
