Hospital Breakout: Deadly Bacteria Patients Escape in Siberia

Patients infected with anthrax in Siberia have escaped from a hospital, raising concerns about a potential outbreak. The patients had contracted the disease after eating the internal organs of a sick horse. While anthrax is not generally contagious between humans, it can be deadly if left untreated. The bacteria naturally exists in the soil and can emerge in both wild and domesticated animals, posing a risk to humans through contact with infected animals. This incident serves as a reminder of the persistent threat of anthrax.
