Anthrax is not uncommon in many farming/ranching communisties nad is easily treatable.
the media provided the fear mongering for the terrorsits and our federal govt complied with the fear.

The anthrax that was used in those attacks wasn't just scooped up off a farm. It was weaponized; specifically engineered to have a far higher lethality than just ordinary anthrax found in nature. This woman is fortunate to be alive.
A large enough quantity of that type of anthrax dispensed in the proper manner can potentially kill thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

People were already infected and near death BEFORE it was determined they'd been hit with anthrax.
It's fairly effective as a "sneak attack" weapon.
