An anthrax outbreak in Carbon County, Wyoming, has resulted in the deaths of dozens of cows, at least 50 cattle, and one moose. State officials have issued health warnings about the potential risk to humans, emphasizing that anthrax, caused by Bacillus anthracis bacteria, can be deadly. The Wyoming Livestock Board confirmed these are the first cases of anthrax in Wyoming cattle since the 1970s, while the last confirmed case in wildlife was in 1956 in Sublette County. The full extent of the outbreak is still being determined, and officials caution that the number of livestock affected may rise.
