Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 WASHINGTON (CNN) Internet users should beware of possibly fraudulent Web sites touting anthrax cures, the Federal Trade Commission warned Thursday. EXTRA INFORMATION Anthrax through the ages The FTC said many of the Web sites that have popped up since anthrax cases began appearing a month ago prey on people's fears and vulnerabilities. The alert, issued in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, advises consumers to talk to a health care provider before ordering any medication online, to be aware that some Web sites sell ineffective drugs and to know who is selling the products they buy. Consumers should not buy drugs from sites without first having a physical exam and should not purchase drugs from a company that does not require a doctor's authorized prescription, the FTC said. It also advised that consumers make sure a pharmacist is provided to answer any questions about a drug purchase, and that they not make purchases from a Web site that does not offer the company's name, business address and phone number.

    Extractions: A disease called anthrax has been in the news ever since a man in Florida came down with a case of it last month. Since then, a total of nine confirmed cases of anthrax have been reported in Florida, New York, New Jersey and Washington D.C. Cases of anthrax are very rare in the U.S. Officials believe these people may have become infected by handling contaminated letters. Investigators are looking for clues about where the letters came from and why someone would want to spread anthrax. Anthrax can be cured with antibiotics, powerful medication that fights bacteria. Still, medical and government experts are telling people to use care when opening their mail, especially if they don't know who sent it. Postmaster General John Potter announced that the Postal Service would soon mail "a postcard to everyone in America" instructing people how to handle mail more carefully. What is Anthrax?

    Extractions: FDA Home Page CBER A-Z Index CBER Search Contact CBER ... CBER Home Page Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by spores of the bacterium, Bacillus anthracis . The B. anthracis spores are highly resistant to inactivation and may be present in the soil, for example, for decades, occasionally infecting grazing animals that ingest the spores. Goats, sheep and cattle are examples of animals that may become infected. Human infection may occur by three routes of exposure to anthrax spores: cutaneous (through the skin), gastrointestinal (by ingestion), and pulmonary (inhalation). In North America, human cases of anthrax are infrequent. However, the United States military views anthrax as a potential biological terrorism threat because the spores are so resistant to destruction and can be easily spread by release in the air. The development of anthrax as a biological weapon by several foreign countries has been documented. Human anthrax cases can occur in 3 forms. Cutaneous infection is the most common manifestation of anthrax in humans, accounting for more than 95 percent of cases. Ingestion of undercooked or raw, infected meat can cause gastrointestinal anthrax infection. Breathing in airborne spores may lead to inhalation anthrax. The mortality rates from anthrax vary, depending on exposure, and are approximately 20% for cutaneous anthrax without antibiotics and 25 - 75% for gastrointestinal anthrax; inhalation anthrax has a fatality rate that is 80% or higher. Cutaneous anthrax can usually be successfully treated with antibiotics. An efficacy supplement for Ciprofloxacin was approved on August 30, 2000 for inhalation anthrax (post-exposure).

    Extractions: Languages Spanish Portuguese German Italian Korean Arabic Japanese Time, Inc. Time.com People Fortune EW InStyle Business 2.0 Dr. Sanjay Gupta is a CNN medical correspondent. Gupta, a practicing neurosurgeon, contributes health news stories to CNN.com. He joined the CNN.com chat room from CNN Center in Atlanta. CNN: Dr. Gupta, what is anthrax? And terrorism aside, what are the ways that people can contract it? GUPTA: Anthrax is a bacteria that forms spores that we've known about for a long time. In fact, anthrax was categorized as one of the first occupational hazards of ancient wool-sorters. It was a much more common infection years ago, but we've had very few natural cases over the last hundred years. Anthrax typically infects the skin in more than 95 percent of cases. It can also affect the GI tract, or actually be breathed in as inhalational anthrax. There have only been 18 confirmed inhalational cases from 1900 to 1976, and not a single case, before yesterday, over the last 25 years. Typically, the way people get it now is through the handling of animals or soil that contain the bacteria and its spores. CHAT PARTICIPANT: Is it true anthrax is really not detectable, and when you get sick is when you first know you have it?
