Anthrax is a highly lethal disease. Not commonly used as rat poison, for the main purpose that, I donno, it's an airborne biological weapon.Quote:

Rat poison has never contained anthrax.
If it did: Either the humans would have inhaled the anthrax, as it can easily become airborne, and they would have died.
Or, the rodents would have got it, died, and the spores would have sat at the corpse until picked up by another creature.
You sure? I could've swore it did..
They are useless. :)Quote:

makes you think
I'm quite positive. This stuff will kill you in days, and it's very easy for it to enter your system. It can survive in extremely harsh environments (like antarctica), it's self-replicating, and it's been known to survive for more then 80 years without a host.Quote:

Yup, googled it. According to http://www.history-magazine.com/arsenic.html
It was arsenic. Thanks, but still same concept applies :)
