Get your meat from Whole Foods! (It comes from Australia from free range cattle fed on grasses. For THIS danger, the fact that it is from Australia is KEY.) Find a store near you! (No, I don't work for Whole Foods!) Don't eat meat in restaurants and especially not fast food chains! Whole Foods Market : Stores

BISMARCK, N.D. - Livestock owners in southeastern North Dakota are urged to consider having their animals vaccinated for anthrax."On July 6, anthrax was confirmed in two herds in Ransom County," said Dr. Beth Carlson, Deputy State Veterinarian. "Since then several additional cases of the disease have been confirmed in the area, which now includes southern Barnes County. Suspect cases have been reported in eastern Dickey and LaMoure counties as well."
Carlson said producers should consult their veterinarian to determine whether vaccination is appropriate. Carlson further stated any sudden or unexpected livestock deaths should also be reported to a veterinarian.
The anthrax-infected herds have been quarantined and are being vaccinated. Most cases have involved cattle; however, horses, bison, and farmed elk have also been affected.
Carlson said anthrax has occurred in this area in the past, however, premises with no previous history of anthrax are being confirmed by the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at North Dakota State University.
Anthrax is reported almost every year in North Dakota, most often in years when heavy amounts of rainfall occur.
Anthrax is caused by animals consuming the spores of the bacteria Bacillus anthracis. The spores can lie dormant in the ground for decades and become vegetative under ideal soil and weather conditions. Animals are exposed to the disease when they consume forage or water contaminated with the bacteria.
Dr. Susan Keller, State Veterinarian, said the risk to human health is extremely low, but precautions should be taken when handling or disposing carcasses.
