Two Dead, Nine Hospitalized with Anthrax

In Orissa, India (Visama Cuttack .Nanirirguda village ) Two people were found dead with the Anthrax disease while nine people are now in critical condition at a local Christian hospital.

Detailed information has emerged recently about cows, three bulls, and four goats that died with the Anthrax disease. The sick villagers ate their meat without burning them. As a result they paid the penalty. Their legs and hands were swollen suddenly with some bruising. Slowly, their condition became critical and two people died immediately. Another nine have been admitted to a hospital. Some days back, BDO and medical officers convinced and advised the villagers not to eat such meats, but they didn’t care and ate it anyway. Now the rest of the villagers are terrified. Administration is now vigilant of this situation.
