It is my understanding that naturally occuring Anthrax spores reside in the feces of livestock and contact with such can result in contagion?

That's my point. You can get cutaneous anthrax by physically coming into contact with infect ground while you have an open wound. Once exposed, unless you are carrying this ground with you, or conceivably infected fleece, you aren't a threat to anyone else.

The only way someone could "catch" anthrax from you is if you were literally covered in the stuff. And again, even if somehow this came true, as long as you got medical treatment the odds of mortality are incredibly low - less then 1%.

Perhaps, OTOH, someone found that missing anthrax...

Yes, either Anthrax isn't the disease, or if it is Anthrax it wasn't spread communicably.

I guess there is the remotest possibility that a communicable "Anthrax" has been created somewhere, by taking genes from the Anthrax spore/bacterium and combining them into an infectious bacteria.
