50-60 cattle die, first moose case since 1956, Anthrax outbreak in Carbon County, Wyoming.
An anthrax outbreak in Carbon County, Wyoming, has resulted in the deaths of 50-60 cattle and the first confirmed case in a moose since 1956. The bacteria Bacillus anthracis can survive in soil for decades and often emerges after drought followed by heavy rain. While human cases are rare, officials advise the public to avoid contact with dead animals and report any findings. The Wyoming Department of Health is providing preventive treatments to those at high risk.
