Nasty

Holy crap that's nasty!

Wonderful.

3rd pic from the top had compartment syndrome along with his anthrax infection, complication due to swelling from anthrax infection..
(They cut his arm open to compensate for swelling due to the infection. Probably removed the thick black scab that is a tell-tale sign of anthrax as well.)

Last pic is of a toddler. I remember that from long ago. sad stuff.

These are of cutaneous anthrax, inhalation anthrax they would all be dead.. (Inhalation is like 95% mortality..)

[Draculina]

Ouch, I didn't know what anthrax would do.

Cutaneous (on the skin) anthrax infection in humans presents as a boil-like skin lesion that eventually forms an ulcer with a black center (eschar). The black eschar often shows up as a large, painless necrotic ulcer (beginning as an irritating and itchy skin lesion or blister that is dark and usually concentrated as a black dot, somewhat resembling bread mold) at the site of infection. In general, cutaneous infections form within the site of spore penetration between 2 and 5 days after exposure. Unlike bruises or most other lesions, cutaneous anthrax infections normally do not cause pain.

Cutaneous anthrax is typically caused when Bacillus anthracis spores enter through cuts on the skin. This form of Anthrax is found most commonly when humans handle infected animals and/or animal products (e.g., the hide of an animal used to make drums).

Cutaneous anthrax is rarely fatal if treated, because the infection area is limited to the skin, preventing the Lethal Factor, Edema Factor, and Protective Antigen from entering and destroying a vital organ. Without treatment, about 20% of cutaneous skin infection cases progress to toxemia and death.
