THEN you also know that ANTHRAX is a bigger threat in the 3rd world where CATTLE and SHEEP are not vaccinated against such diseases ...
If you want to believe that this Egyptian sailor traveling on a ship carrying bauxite died from exposure to infected animals simply because he was from a third-world country, be my guest, but there is a low incidence of inhalation anthrax infection even among those who work with sheepskins in third-world countries, and intestinal anthrax is even rarer.
BTW, cattle and sheep are not routinely vaccinated against anthrax in many areas of this country unless there is a nearby outbreak. It's not cost-effective due to the sporadic nature of the disease.
