In southwest Texas, a rancher was infected with anthrax after butchering a lamb that died unexpectedly on his ranch in December 2023. This incident was considered an unusual winter case of anthrax, resulting in the rancher experiencing symptoms consistent with anthrax after the butchering process. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services investigated the situation, attributing the illness to the anthrax bacteria naturally present in the soil. The CDC recommends keeping livestock vaccinated against anthrax and avoiding butchering animals that die of unknown causes to prevent such cases.
