Anthrax can be spread three ways:
(1) through cutaneous (skin) contact with anthrax spores, such as from infected animals or animal products including hair, wool, or hides (or from intentionally contaminated letters, as occurred in fall 2001);
(2) through inhaling (breathing in) anthrax spores, especially in industrial processes like tanning hides and processing wool where aerosols of anthrax spores may be produced; and through
(3) ingesting (eating) contaminated, undercooked meat. Anthrax is not spread through animal milk, and cannot be spread from person to person.

I think cutaneous anthrax can also be spread through an open sore.
