in the Izobilnensky district. Here, a local resident went to the
doctors with fever, weakness and back pain. These are the classic
common symptoms of anthrax. As clarified at the Center for Hygienic
Education of the Population, skin manifestations simultaneously
occur: a red spot forms at the site of infection, which thickens and
bursts, forming an ulcer and secondary vesicles along its edges.
After a few days, the ulcer will scab over. On the 5th-6th day, the
temperature decreases, the reverse development of local and general
symptoms begins. In April, in the Stavropol Territory, a mass
poisoning of residents of "Maryiny Wells city" was recorded
(

particularly contagious disease, was the cause. In total, 105
local residents got to the doctors.
