A Love Letter to Anthrax Part One

I’m happy to present Into the Archives: A Love Letter to Anthrax – Part One.

So, I know it’s a bit late for Valentine’s Day. But if I had to label humanity’s relationship with anthrax, I’d say, “It’s complicated”. We have, as a society, nurtured an intense and complex partnership with Bacillus anthracis, which has contributed directly to the deaths of hundreds of innocent people.

This edition of Into the Archives explores our deadly love of anthrax. What makes it so appealing? Why is it so dangerous? Have we learned from the past? These are all questions that I sought to answer in this two-part article.

Always bringing us back to the point that it takes two to tango – a naturally occurring substance with deadly qualities, and humans determined to utilise those properties for their agendas.
