Symptoms of cutaneous anthrax start 1 to 7 days after exposure: 1  An itchy sore develops that is similar to an insect bite. This sore may blister and form a black ulcer (sore or eschar). 2  The sore is usually painless, but it is often surrounded by swelling.  A scab often forms, and then dries and falls off within 2 weeks.
Cutaneous anthrax is typically caused when B. anthracis spores enter through cuts on the skin. This form is found most commonly when humans handle infected animals and/or animal products. Cutaneous anthrax is rarely fatal if treated, because the infection area is limited to the skin, preventing the lethal factor, edema factor, and protective antigen from entering and destroying a vital organ.
