Anthrax - When To Call a Doctor
If you think you have been exposed to anthrax spores, call your local law enforcement agency and your doctor immediately or contact your local or state health department. See your local government pages in the phone book. Because anthrax cannot be spread from person to person, the people around you are not at risk unless they also have been exposed to anthrax spores.
