The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has just issued an update warning of the threat of anthrax being used as a bioterrorist attack.
The CDC updated its website to warn that anthrax would most likely be used if the United States is hit with a bioterrorist attack.
According to the CDC’s website:
“If a bioterrorist attack were to happen, Bacillus anthracis, the bacteria that causes anthrax, would be one of the biological agents most likely to be used.”
“Anthrax makes a good weapon because it can be released quietly and without anyone knowing,” the CDC’s warning continues.
