The answer is D, that anthrax can infect the integumentary, GI, and respiratory systems. People who are working in or near slaughterhouses, wool mills and tanneries may inhale anthrax spores from infected animals. A person who has inhaled the anthrax spores will experience difficulty in breathing and even shock. Inhalation anthrax is the most deadly type of anthrax to date.
Usually, infection takes a week to develop up to 2 months after being exposed to the bacteria. When anthrax also gets into the skin, it will cause cutaneous anthrax. Though this is the least dangerous type of anthrax, it can also cause the death of the infected person if not treated with antibiotics immediately.
