All anthrax strains attack the body the same, even if they are bioengineered to ignore antibiotics. The major differences on victims are where the infection starts. Inhaled = pulmonary. Ingested = intestinal. Blood contact through a cut or wound = cutaneous.
I had no idea about the ingested component; perhaps that is why I have heard warnings today about the next terrorist "hit" in this country occurring in the food supply.
Yikes...I am not happy to hear that anthrax can be engineered to be antibiotic resistant. Dancer.
