Info link to CDC worth reading The spores can be found just about anywhere, in the soil or in both wild and domestic animals.
Outside of that, just wait and see if more cases develop. Most should show up within a week.
But it could be isolated. Supposedly anthrax does well after a good drought followed by rain. We've certainly had that.

What an excellent site; I've saved it. So inhalation anthrax can occur from the soil - particularly after a lot of rain - which southern Florida has had recently.

Thank you for the link. I don't mean to be an alarmist, it's just lately everything needs to be looked at in a different light. I am still reeling from the 911 attack. I don't know where everyones from. I live on Long Island. It is very depressing and sad to see so many around you missing Fathers, Brothers, Sisters, Cousins.....on and on. If you do the math, conservatively this has affected over 200,000 people directly, and only God knows how many indirectly. I hope and pray that in our presidents words we don't stop till we eradicate this threat and all those responsible and secure our future "We will not falter, We will not fail" Sorry to get sidetracked
